Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has raised alarm over a spike in foreign-linked social media activity targeting the state’s political discourse, alleging the involvement of hardcore Islamic fundamentalist elements. Sarma revealed that 5,000 Facebook accounts—many from countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan—have been activated in the past month, posting content supportive of Iran, Palestine, and Bangladeshi Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. These accounts are focused on Assam, a particular political leader, and the Assam Congress, rather than national figures. A forensic audit is underway, with more revelations expected soon. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to protect Assam’s political environment.
