Tensions boiled over in New Delhi’s political arena as BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra tore into Congress for orchestrating a topless protest at the India AI Impact Summit, vowing that the nation’s Gen Z holds an unforgiving grudge.
Held at the iconic Bharat Mandapam, the summit spotlighted India’s AI advancements amid an audience of international dignitaries. Youth Congress interlopers shattered the decorum, shedding shirts, yelling provocative slogans, and forcing a security clampdown.
‘Congress has become topless, brainless, and shameless,’ Patra thundered, decrying the attack on India’s tech ecosystem and entrepreneurial spirit. He stressed the event’s non-partisan nature: a showcase of national excellence, not a partisan stage.
Patra drew a stark historical line, comparing the disruption to outdated images from Nehru’s time that belittled India abroad. ‘They’re trying to tarnish our rising tech stature just as the world cheers us on.’
Detained promptly by authorities, the protesters failed to derail the proceedings entirely. Yet, Patra spotlighted Congress’s hypocrisy in questioning homegrown successes while overlooking foreign critiques.
Youth across India expressed seething anger online, with Gen Z leading calls for accountability. This flashpoint reveals deepening rifts, as forward-looking voters shun disruptive politics in favor of India’s innovative trajectory.
