Spokesperson: Ms. Supriya Shrinate: She disclosed that nine AI-generated videos created by Congress have been deleted over the last six weeks at the instance of Narendra Modi government and BJP-ruled state administrations.

Chairperson of the Social Media and Digital Platforms, Ms. Supriya Shrinate exposed the hypocrisy and double standards of the Modi government at the Centre, saying while on the one hand, it was holding a high-profile Artificial Intelligence Summit and at the same time, it was ordering deletion of the AI-generated satirical videos from the Congress handles.

The Party noted that it is an irony that the Modi government was resorting to gross abuse of power by misusing the provisions of the Information Technology Act and censoring the AI content at a time when it was holding the AI Summit. She clarified that all the videos prominently carried “AI Generated Video” disclaimers throughout their duration, asserting that there was no attempt to mislead viewers. She said that the videos were political satire and dramatized commentary on issues the Opposition has consistently raised in Parliament and in public forums.

Ms. Supriya Shrinate said that takedown orders were issued either by police authorities in BJP-ruled states including Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, or by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) headed by Ashwini Vaishnaw under Sections 69A and 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, as well as under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

The Congress spokesperson expressed deep disappointment over the mad race among social media platforms like YouTube, Meta and X to delete the videos and surrender before the Modi government. Thursday, February 19, 2026
