AI Summit Protest | AI Summit Overshadowed By Youth Congress Protest, BJP Calls It 'Anti-India'

Day 5 of the India AI Summit was expected to cement India's position as a rising global tech power, with focus on the Delhi Declaration, strategic partnerships, and the signing of the Pax Silica pact to strengthen semiconductor supply chains. However, the spotlight shifted after Indian Youth Congress workers staged a protest outside Bharat Mandapam, briefly disrupting the event. The BJP accused the Congress of undermining national interest and labelled the protest "anti-India," with BJP Yuva Morcha workers staging a counter-protest outside Rahul Gandhi's residence. The Youth Congress defended its action, saying it was protesting the India-US trade deal and claimed the government was ignoring opposition voices. The episode has sparked a broader debate on the line between democratic dissent and national responsibility during high-profile global events.
