The shirtless protest quickly sparked a political conflict, with the Bharatiya Janata Party criticizing Congress for organizing the protest that positioned India as an international event.
After the protest, Congress leader Pawan Khera posted a video message on X and said the IYC had “removed the posters” and made the country notice the “cracks in the walls”.
“The Indian Youth Congress, by peacefully protesting, reflected the anger among the youth at this AI summit. There has been a lot of shouting and noise since then. The ‘motivational’ media of the ‘compromising’ PM started saying that the protest was organized at the ‘wrong place’, it had brought shame on the country and the protest should not have been done there,” he said.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Modi turned his guns on the Congress, terming the protest an act of “dirty and shameful politics” that “brings shame to the country” in front of international guests.
“The entire country was full of pride,” Modi said, referring to the AI summit. “But what did the Congress and its ecosystem do? The conference turned a global event for India into a platform for its dirty and naked politics. Congress leaders reached the venue naked in front of the foreign guests,” Modi said, referring to the AI summit.
Modi said in a scathing criticism: “I ask the members of Congress: The country knows that you are already naked, so why did you feel the need to take off your clothes?”
