When BJP fails to defeat AAP politically, it resorts to character assassination of CM Mann: Malvinder Kang
Chandigarh(The Uttam Hindu): AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang today strongly condemned the circulation of a fabricated video that was deliberately created to malign and defame Punjab’s beloved Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Speaking at a press conference at the party office in Chandigarh, Kang exposed what he called a deliberate, BJP-orchestrated campaign of character assassination and warned that those behind this conspiracy will be held to account.
Kang said the video was produced “with the sole intention of how to defame our beloved Chief Minister and carry out character assassination.” He said that the fake clip went viral and that the biggest role in amplifying the video was played by leaders across BJP’s national and Punjab leadership, including official party bearers and national spokespersons.
Kang named the originator of the campaign as Jagman Samra, who lives in Canada, and noted that after directions from the Hon’ble Mohali court an FIR was registered against him. “Facebook itself has deleted Jagman Samra’s account and the fake video following legal directions,” Kang said, pointing to clear and immediate action that proves the video’s fraudulent nature.
Turning to the social media network that spread the clip, Kang alleged a coordinated ecosystem of BJP-linked accounts. He said many of these accounts, some even followed by senior BJP leaders, repeatedly push such propaganda whenever the party wants to destroy a person’s character. “This whole troll ecosystem is BJP’s,” Kang declared, adding that senior BJP leaders and national spokespeople follow and amplify these accounts.
Kang stressed the deeper motive behind the smear: “If you cannot politically defeat a common teacher’s son who has risen honestly to lead Punjab, you resort to crafting artificial intelligence-generated fake videos to destroy his character. That is BJP’s politics.” He urged Punjabis to understand that this is not an isolated act but a full-fledged machinery at work trying to bring down a leader who rose from an ordinary family through hard work and integrity.
Kang warned that while everyone has the right to voice opinions in politics, creating AI-driven fake videos to defame an elected Chief Minister crosses every line. “Punjab’s people will answer this conspiracy in due time. We condemn this plot by BJP in the strongest possible terms,” he said, and vowed strict legal action. “If you try to defame our leaders with fake videos, you will not be spared, our party will take stringent legal action against you.”
He concluded by asserting that Punjab’s people always give a fitting reply to such conspiracies and reaffirmed AAP’s commitment to exposing and punishing those who indulge in manufactured propaganda. Kang urged citizens to remain vigilant and promised that the party will pursue all legal options to hold the perpetrators accountable.
