New Delhi : Youth Congress members who staged a shirtless protest against the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the AI Summit in New Delhi were inspired by Nepal’s violent Gen Z movement that toppled the government there, Delhi Police told a court on Friday. This is a larger conspiracy that has taken inspiration from the Gen Z protests in Nepal. The accused need to be confronted with each other as well as with digital evidence.
The shirts carried messages such as PM is compromised, India-US Trade Deal, and Epstein Files. On Friday, around 10 activists from the Congress’s youth wing entered the AI Summit venue and staged a dramatic shirtless protest, raising slogans against Prime Minister Modi, including PM is compromised over the India-US trade deal. Security personnel quickly intervened, and four of the protesters were later arrested for allegedly disrupting the high-profile global event.
There is no footage showing that they attacked any public servant. On the contrary, they were beaten black and blue. The sections imposed are an attempt to set an example for other political parties,” the advocate argued. The protest triggered a sharp political showdown between the BJP and the Congress. The Congress, however, defended the protest as a legitimate form of democratic dissent, saying it reflected the anger and frustration among the youth. Party leader Pawan Khera said the IYC “removed the posters” and made the country notice the “cracks in the walls”.
The event is considered one of the largest AI gatherings hosted in the Global South and forms part of an international series of AI summits focused on cooperation and the governance of emerging technologies. However, the Congress criticised the summit as merely a “PR exercise”, particularly citing the controversy over a Chinese robot being showcased by Noida-based Galgotias University as their indigenous product.
