NEW DELHI: Congress General Secretary and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said that taking action against the party's youth wing over the shirtless protest during the recent India-AI Impact Summit is "extremely condemnable", adding that the party stands firmly with the "fearless soldiers".
The protest occurred on February 20 at Bharat Mandapam during the AI Summit, where Youth Congress members removed their shirts to display anti-government and anti-Modi slogans on inner T-shirts, disrupting the event aimed at showcasing India's advancements in Artificial Intelligence.
Delhi Police have made multiple arrests, including that of Youth Congress chief Uday Bhanu Chip, in the case, including adding rioting charges, and described the incident as a deep conspiracy to defame India on an international platform.
