New Delhi: Indian Youth Congress workers staged a dramatic shirtless protest at Bharat Mandapam on Friday, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the AI Impact Summit and branding him a "compromised PM".
The activists accused Modi of "trading the country's identity" at the event. The demonstration drew immediate backlash from BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari, who condemned it as disrupting an international summit and demanded an apology.
The protest aligns with broader Congress criticism. LoP Rahul Gandhi called the summit a "disorganised PR spectacle" where "Indian data up for sale" amid Chinese product displays. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged chaos, mismanagement, and lack of basics like food and water for attendees.
Delhi Police detained several protesters, with sources indicating legal action ahead.
