The AI Summit Controversy: A Political Storm Unveiled
In a dramatic turn of events, the AI Summit 2026 has sparked a heated political debate, with the BJP taking a strong stance against the Congress' protest. Let's delve into this unfolding story and explore the controversies it has ignited.
The Youth Congress members gathered at the Bharat Mandapam in Delhi to voice their strong opposition to the India-US Trade Deal during the AI Summit. This action has prompted the BJP to launch an offensive against the Congress.
On Friday, February 20, 2026, the Youth Congress activists took to the streets, removing their T-shirts and chanting slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of compromising. The situation escalated, and on Saturday, February 21, the BJP organized nationwide protests against the Congress.
BJP's Nationwide Protests
In response to the AI Summit incident, the BJP is holding demonstrations in Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Jammu & Kashmir. Outside the Congress headquarters in Delhi, BJP Youth Wing activists are protesting, carrying posters that read "Traitor Rahul Gandhi, Apologize!" The Delhi Police, anticipating the BJP leaders' protest, closed off Akbar Road with double-layered barricades.
However, the angry BJP workers broke through the barricades, and several activists were taken into custody. Delhi BJP President Vinod Sachdeva and MP Manoj Tiwari joined the protest.
Congress' Protest Deemed Treasonous
During the protest, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari spoke to the media, stating that the public will never forgive the Congress for this anti-national act. He emphasized that the entire world is applauding India's AI prowess, and attempting to defame the AI Summit amounts to treason. Tiwari further accused the Congress of trying to tarnish India's reputation by hiring goons to disrupt the summit.
Youth Congress Activists in Court
The four Youth Congress activists arrested during the AI Summit protest were presented before the Patiala House Court in Delhi. Their identities were revealed as Krishna Hari, Secretary of Youth Congress; Kundan Yadav, Bihar State Secretary; Ajay Kumar, Uttar Pradesh State Vice President; and Narasimha Yadav, National Coordinator. The defense argued that these individuals were exercising their right to peaceful protest and had caused no harm to anyone.
