A major political controversy erupted after members of the Indian Youth Congress staged a shirtless protest during the AI summit at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi. The protesters raised slogans against the Centre over a reported trade deal with the United States. Sources said at least four Youth Congress office-bearers were detained following the protest. They were identified as Krishna Hari (National Secretary), Kundan Yadav (Bihar State Secretary), Ajay Kumar (UP Vice President), and Narasimha Yadav (National Coordinator). The incident has triggered sharp political reactions, with the BJP accusing Congress of attempting to disrupt a major international event.
