New Delhi: An uproar erupted at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi when some young men, claiming to be Youth Congress workers, were seen protesting at the venue. It was claimed that these activists, shirtless and carrying placards, entered the summit venue and began shouting slogans against the government. This incident occurred while delegates and technical experts from India and abroad were present.
According to media reports, the protesters took this action to protest against AI and alleged agreements related to it. Allegations were made that the Congress deliberately chose this international platform for protest to corner the central government and the BJP. Some described this as an attempt to disrupt the summit and termed it a move that would harm the country's image.
Although there has been no clear official response from the Congress party, viral photos and videos on social media are claiming that the protesters were associated with the Youth Congress.
The incident has also raised questions about security arrangements. Entry to a major international event like the AI Summit requires pre-registration and a passcode. Consequently, it has become a matter of investigation as to how the protesters managed to gain entry. Did they officially register, or was there a security lapse?
According to sources, police arrived at the scene and detained the protesters. However, an official statement is awaited.
Following the incident, BJP leaders launched a scathing attack on the Congress party. BJP spokespersons called it "shameful" and said that such protests tarnish the country's image when the entire world is witnessing India's technological advancements.
Political analysts believe that this incident could further escalate the conflict between the central government and the opposition in the coming days. This protest, which occurred during a summit focused on a sensitive and strategic area like AI, has become a new topic of political debate.
The AI Impact Summit was billed as the largest AI event ever, where global cooperation, investment, and technology partnerships were being discussed. Consequently, this type of protest has become a topic of discussion not only in political circles but also in the international community.
All eyes are now on the Congress party's explanation for this issue and how the administration proceeds with the investigation into the security lapse.
