Youth Congress chief Uday Bhanu Chib arrested over shirtless protest during AI Impact Summit

Uday Bhanu Chib, the president of the Youth Congress, was arrested following a controversial shirtless protest during the AI Impact Summit. His protest was aimed at highlighting issues related to unemployment and the rising cost of living in India. After nearly 20 hours of interrogation, law enforcement officials charged him with several offenses, including criminal conspiracy and obstructing a public servant. The protest has sparked discussions about the role of youth activism in contemporary Indian politics and the challenges faced by young people in the current economic climate. Chib's actions reflect a growing frustration among the youth regarding the government's handling of pressing social issues. The incident has drawn attention to how political dissent is often met with legal repercussions, raising questions about the balance between free expression and law enforcement in India today.
