New Delhi: The shirtless protest by a Congress group during the recent India AI Impact Summit has really enraged Narendra Modi.
In a stinging rebuke, the Indian Prime Minister accused the grand old party of using a global event for its “dirty and naked politics” after Indian Youth Congress workers entered the venue using QR-coded passes and removed their T-shirts, raising slogans against Modi.
The group of around 10 demonstrators displayed white T-shirts with images of Modi and US President Donald Trump, and message like ‘India-US Trade Deal’, ‘Epstein Files’ and ‘PM is compromised.’
Modi said the protest had embarrassed the country before international delegates who were attending the AI summit, and showed how “ideologically bankrupt” and “impoverished” Congress has become.
“You are already naked, then why did you feel the need to take off your clothes?” Modi said while addressing a public rally in Meerut.
‘What the Congress leaders did there shows how ideologically bankrupt and impoverished the oldest party of the country has become. Congress is busy defaming its own country. Some political parties within the country cannot digest India’s success. We just witnessed the world’s largest AI conference in India. But what did the Congress and its ecosystem do? The Congress turned a global event for India into a platform for its dirty and naked politics,” PM Modi said.
Modi said the Congress should have remembered the AI Summit was not a BJP event.
“Congress leaders hate me, they want to dig my grave. They don’t even hesitate to insult my mother. Congress should have remembered that the AI Global Summit was not a BJP event, and no BJP leader was present at that time. This was a national work. But Congress broke the decorum that day. This corrupt policy of Congress is being condemned by the entire country,” Modi said.
