The Protest That Shocked Everyone


So, what actually happened? Members of the Youth Congress walked into Bharat Mandapam, one of India's most prestigious venues, and took off their shirts in protest. The Congress shirtless protest happened right in front of international guests and global leaders attending the summit.

Modi responded with a line that nobody forgot: "The country already knows you are naked, so why remove your clothes?" He accused the opposition of practicing shameless politics at the worst possible time and place.

Pride vs. Politics


The AI Impact Summit 2026 was also tied to bigger conversations, including the India-US trade deal, a topic that affects millions of Indians. Instead of engaging meaningfully, Congress chose disruption over dialogue, leaving even some of their own allies shaking their heads in disbelief.

Modi called it out directly: the party has gone "ideologically bankrupt."

Justice Steps In


The protest had real consequences. Four Congress leaders, Krishna Hari, Kundan Yadav, Ajay Kumar, and Narasimha Yadav, were arrested and sent to police custody by a Delhi court.

India's message was loud and clear: national dignity always comes first.
