The Bharatiya Janata Party in Assam has registered a complaint against a porn site that used a variant of its uniform resource locator (URL) or web address.

The party unit was alarmed when internet users found a website using the domain www.bjpassam.org that offered pornographic content.

“We informed the Special Branch of the police, whose cyber cell is expected to follow it up,” a BJP leader said.

Some in the BJP did not rule out any mischief by “vested interests” but spokesperson Roopam Goswami said the party’s IT cell traced the site to Kenya.

“I think someone created a fake website to malign the party. This objectionable site is registered in Kenya and has tweaked our web address,” Mr. Goswami said.

The State BJP’s URL is http://assam.bjp.org/index.php, he said.
