The AI-generated purported video of Modi's late mother was shared in the post in which“the PM is seen dreaming about his late mother who is criticising him over his politics in poll-bound Bihar.”

The BJP and its allies had lashed out at the Congress over the video, calling it“shameful” and wondering how low the opposition party would stoop to target Modi.

The Congress has maintained that there has been no disrespect shown towards the prime minister or his mother.

“What is their objection? Just because a mother is trying to educate her son to do something right, where is the disrespect? This is neither disrespectful to the mother, whom we respect dearly, nor to the son,” Pawan Khera, head of the Congress' media and publicity department, had said.
