Over 5,000 Facebook and other social media accounts, operated mostly from abroad, have suddenly become active around the activities of the Assam Congress and a particular political leader, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.

"They have hard contents pro-Palestine, pro-Iran, pro-Muhammad Yunus. These people are hardcore Islamic fundamentalists," Sarma said, addressing a press conference.
"Interestingly, they do not follow Rahul Gandhi or the Indian National Congress. They like the pages concerning the activities of the political leader and the Assam Congress," he said.
Stating that the account holders are from a particular community, he said they were propagating the political party in the context of Assam. He added that the state government conducted a study on 2,092 accounts and the investigation is ongoing.
