AIBA Calls for Action Against Google Over Alleged Spread of False Information About PM Modi

The All India Bar Association (AIBA) has demanded stringent penal action against Google for purportedly disseminating false information regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Adish C Aggarwala, Senior Advocate and Chairman of AIBA accused Google’s Artificial Intelligence platform, Gemini, of circulating “highly condemnable false information” about the Prime Minister.

According to AIBA’s statement, Google’s actions potentially violate several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 500 (defamation), and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief).

“The company being the creator of the machine cannot be allowed to escape the consequences of the damage caused. The manner in which a machine is to learn facts and interpret them is designed by its programmer,” the letter said.

“The Prime Minister of India has strived to get India its due place under the sun. But some people are not enthused by the rise of the country to prominence and may want to stain its honor by spewing spite. Such acts must be shot down,” the representation said.

“It is therefore urged that the penal laws should be invoked and action may be taken against those guilty of the aforesaid motivated crimes,” it said.

Aggarwala said the lawyers’ body has also written to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) for invoking penal provisions against Google.

AIBA urged authorities to invoke penal laws and take action against those responsible for the alleged dissemination of false information. Aggarwala disclosed that the lawyers’ body had also communicated its concerns to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and requested action against Google.
