The YouTube video is a real Green Party campaign video, here's the Bengali version of it. Obviously it's just racist fear-mongering though, putting out political messaging in non-English languages like Urdu and Bengali is fairly normal.

    Yeah I realised that after watching the TLDR News coverage. I hadn't seen the video myself obviously 'cause I don't watch TV and don't speak Urdu ;-) It was the fact that it felt like racist fear-mongering that made me jump to conclusions. Like, seriously, as a politician, you go to where the people are. If a large portion of your electorate speak a different language, you'd better figure out how to talk to them.
