IYC Prez Bhanu Chib on 'shirtless' protest at AI Impact Summit: 'It's anger from every unemployed person'

Reacting to the ‘shirtless’ protest staged by IYC members at the AI Impact Summit on Friday, National President of the Indian Youth Congress, Uday Bhanu Chib said, “This anger isn't just from our Youth Congress members. It's from every young person who is unemployed today, and every single one of them knows that our Prime Minister is compromised.”

Earlier in the day, members of the Indian Youth Congress staged a ‘shirtless’ protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the India AI Impact Summit – which is being held at Delhi's Bharat Mandapam. The protestors accused the Prime Minister of compromising national interests at the summit. 

A senior police officer said that around 10 people were detained when they were protesting at the AI Summit, reported news wire PTI.

"They were removed immediately and were taken to Tilak Marg police station. No one will be allowed to breach law and order situation," the officer said.

The protesters reportedly removed their shirts as a mark of angst against the PM, claiming that he has ‘been compromised,’ as per reports, citing party leaders.
