‘Gayab' and gone wild: Congress poster triggers BJP fury; netizens turn to Grok
Pahalgam terror attack: It has barely a week since the gruesome terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, that killed 26 people. Now, the Congress and BJP have landed in a wild verbal duel on social media, after the grand old party came up with a new poster. Trying to decode what the Congress's message was, netizens even turned to AI tool Grok. Coming to the poster, that triggered the heated debate between the two parties, the highlight of the post is the word 'gayab' (missing), positioned over a headless figure. Although the figure has no face, it seemingly 'wore' a bandhgala kurta, churidar pyjama, and black footwear as its outfit. The controversy escalated when Pakistan's former minister reshared the poster with hashtag 'Naughty Congress'. Since then the Congress has been receiving severe backlash from both the BJP and the internet users. Fawad Hussain's post In response, national in-charge of BJP's Information & Technology department, Amit Malviya slammed the Congress, claiming that the party leaders acted like 'Pakistan's sleeper cells.' ' Congress leaders are acting like Pakistan's sleeper cells. Just look at their irresponsible and reprehensible statements — going so far as to deny the victims' families even dignity in death. Despite voluminous evidence and firsthand accounts from witnesses to the killings, the Congress, like an ostrich, seems to have buried its head in the sand,' Amit Malviya posted on X. He even shared a poster, stating ' Congress = Pakistan's PR agents.' Amit Malviya slams Congress Another BJP leader Lakshmi Singh wrote on X: 'Gayab toh Congress and pakistan hoga bohut jald,' which loosely translates to: 'Very soon, Pakistan and Congress will go missing.' Netizens, meanwhile, turned to Grok for an answer, asking the AI tool, who the Congress party was referring to as 'Gayab'. Grok's reply to 'gayab' poster

Grok's reply to 'gayab' poster Grok replied: "The Congress party's "GAYAB" image, showing a headless figure labeled "missing," criticizes Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his perceived absence or ineffective response to the April 22, 2025, Kashmir terrorist attack. The caption, "At the time of responsibility - Missing," suggests a lack of leadership during a national crisis. The post aims to highlight government shortcomings, but its provocative imagery sparked controversy, with the BJP accusing Congress of insensitivity and aligning with Pakistan's narrative."

J&K saw 1,145 terror attacks during 2018-2021: Congress in Kerala
Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 29 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed 1,145 terror incidents in 3 years between 2018 and 2021 -- during the tenure of the NDA government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the Congress party in Kerala. "J&K under BJP saw an alarming number of terror incidents. Any claim otherwise is not just propaganda, but a plain lie. BJP's capture of mainstream media and social media commentators cannot hide the truth," the Congress said in their social media platform 'X'. Earlier, the Congress in Kerala courted controversy after former Pakistan Minister Fawad Hussain shared a post of theirs on his 'X' account about the Pahalgam terror attack. Soon after the Pahalgam attack, the Congress posted a message on 'X', saying that "Pahalgam is nearly 200km from the Line of Control. It is not a border village so that someone could sneak in and go back. How did four terrorists carrying big guns come 200 km inside, shoot nearly 50 people and go back unscathed?" "If terrorists can walk in and shoot and go back without the risk of being captured or killed, how safe are our cities?," it said. The former Pakistan minister shared this message for highlighting the security lapses on the part of the Indian government. However, the BJP in Kerala has not responded to the Congress' criticism of the Prime Minister and the Union government on the Pahalgam terror attack. Meanwhile, the silence of the Kerala BJP's social media on the issue was also widely questioned by several right-wing activists and public commentators. UNI DS ARN PRS

When Adnan Sami Revealed Why He Left Pakistan, Said It Would SHOCK Many: 'I'll Expose The Reality Of...'
Adnan Sami is in the news for replying to former Pakistan minister Fawad Hussain, who questioned his Indian citizenship. Adnan Sami is in the news for replying to former Pakistan minister Fawad Hussain, who questioned his Indian citizenship. Recently, Hussain posted on X (formerly Twitter), asking if Sami would be sent back to Pakistan after Union Home Minister Amit Shah's order for Chief Ministers to ensure no Pakistani nationals stay in India after the Pahalgam terror attack. Known for songs like Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao, Lift Kara De, and Tu Meri Mehbooba, Adnan was born in Lahore, Pakistan. He became an Indian citizen in 2015, which sparked controversy. In 2022, he also criticised Pakistan on social media, showing his love for India. In 2022, Adnan Sami had taken to Instagram, writing, 'Many people ask me why I have such contempt towards Pakistan. The hard truth is that I have absolutely no contempt towards the people of Pakistan who have been good to me. I love everyone who loves me- period. However, I have major issues with the establishment. Those who truly know me will also know what that establishment did to me for many years which ultimately became one of the big reasons for me to leave Pak." The singer continued further, 'One day, soon, I will expose the reality of how they treated me which not many know, least of all the general public which will shock many! I have remained silent about all this for many years, but will choose the right moment to tell all." Adnan Sami applied for Indian citizenship to the Ministry of Home Affairs in June 2015 after his Pakistani passport expired. Having lived in India for a sufficient number of years, he met the eligibility requirements for citizenship. In late December 2015, the Indian Home Ministry approved his request, granting him Indian citizenship, effective from January 1, 2016. In an earlier interview with the BBC, Adnan Sami shared that he felt threatened in Pakistan and was more concerned about his family's safety than his own. After a lengthy struggle with the Pakistani government, he filed a petition for Indian citizenship, which was granted in 2016. First Published:
