The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), commonly known as the Trinamool Congress, is a prominent Indian political party based in West Bengal. Founded by Mamata Banerjee in 1998, the AITC has focused on social welfare, economic development, and grassroots mobilization. The party gained significant popularity under Banerjee's leadership and has governed West Bengal since 2011, often positioning itself as an opponent to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the state and national levels.

In January 2021, BOOM fact-checked a video shared by BJP Bengal, which showed Banerjee reciting an Islamic verse. The video was shared with the claim that she was comfortable reciting Islamic prayers but had an issue with slogans of "Jai Shri Ram."

BOOM's investigation revealed that the video was clipped, and the narrative around it was misleading.
