From Bengaluru, veteran Congress leader Margaret Alva has publicly denounced the provocative protest by party members at Delhi’s AI Summit. The former minister underlined the importance of responsible conduct at high-profile international meets.
Fielding media questions, Alva declared, “International occasions demand dignity, discipline, and a responsible approach.” Her remarks follow arrests of four demonstrators by Delhi Police, with ongoing raids signaling a thorough investigation.
Balancing criticism with loyalty, Alva lauded Rahul Gandhi’s role. “He’s a leader the masses accept, with huge contributions. I commend his perseverance,” she said.
PM Narendra Modi, speaking to crowds in Meerut, unleashed a blistering critique. He celebrated the summit as a global milestone. “Indians are tirelessly building a developed nation, but some parties can’t stomach the progress. India hosted the biggest AI Summit ever in a developing country. Weren’t you proud?” he asked.
Modi slammed Congress for the naked protest in view of foreign delegates. “They made a global event their platform for filth. The nation knows you’re naked ideologically—why strip literally? This bankruptcy of ideas defines the oldest party.”
The fallout exposes fault lines in Congress and amplifies Modi’s narrative of opposition obstructionism. With tech diplomacy at stake, Alva’s call for restraint resonates amid escalating political rhetoric.
