Shirtless vs ‘shameless’: Congress protest at AI summit in Delhi ignites major row

A recent protest by the Congress party at the AI summit in Delhi has sparked significant controversy, particularly over the use of a Chinese robot showcased at the event. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate criticized the government's decision to present the robot as a part of India's technological advancements, suggesting it undermines the nation's image. The protest, which included Congress leaders appearing shirtless to symbolize their outrage, has drawn mixed reactions across social media platforms. Some have supported the party's stance on technology and national pride, while others have labeled the protest as shameless and inappropriate. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between the Congress party and the ruling government over issues of national identity and technological sovereignty, as debates continue about the role of foreign technology in India's growth narratives. As the political discourse escalates, the implications of this protest may influence public sentiment and the political landscape ahead of upcoming elections.
