Piyush Goyal Slams Congress Over AI Summit Protest: 'Worst Anti-National Act'
•Union Minister Piyush Goyal condemned the Indian Youth Congress's shirtless protest at the AI Impact Summit as the "worst anti-national act."
•Goyal suggested the protest, aimed at belittling India's achievements, might have had the blessing of Congress leadership and called it an attempt to "weaken Bharat."
•He also criticized Rahul Gandhi for involving farmers in "dirty political strategies," stating the Gandhi family has always played with farmers' feelings.
•IYC members staged a shirtless protest outside the high-security AI Bharat Summit venue, shouting slogans and attempting to disrupt the event with global leaders present.
•Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia called the disruption an "unmitigated disaster" that damaged India's image as a technology and innovation hub on a global platform.
