Lucknow, February 20 ( UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken strong exception to Youth Congress activists in Delhi protesting during the AI Summit at Bharat Mandapam.
The Chief Minister said on Friday, “Today, the youth wing of the Congress Party attempted a shameful incident at Bharat Mandapam. An attempt has been made to tarnish India”s image globally, and we condemn it. These people want to play games at the expense of the country.”
Speaking in the state assembly, he said that the activists tried to “spread chaos” at an event “attended by people from over 100 countries”.
“Every Indian should condemn this incident. Strict action should be taken against those behind it,” Yogi added.
The chief minister made this statement in the state assembly while he was replying to the debate on budget on Friday.
Indian Youth Congress activists protested against the India-US trade deal at the AI Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi on Friday. The activists took off their T-shirts and chanted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, “The PM is compromised.”
Several videos of the demonstration have also surfaced in the social media.
A crowd of 15-20 activists were seen holding white T-shirts. The T-shirts featured photos of PM Modi and US President Donald Trump. The text read, “PM is compromised.”
The Indian Youth Congress too shared a video of the protest on the social media platform X and wrote, “The truth cannot be suppressed behind the glittering stage of an AI summit. When corporate interests trump national interests, and when foreign policy is clearly lax, protest becomes a duty.”
