AI Summit Chaos: Congress Workers' Shirtless Protest Sparks Outrage, Detentions
•Youth Congress workers staged a semi-naked protest at the AI Summit in Delhi's Bharat Mandapam, chanting slogans against PM Modi.
•Approximately 10 protesters, who entered using QR-code passes, were involved; 4-5 have been detained by Delhi Police.
•The incident drew comparisons to Sourav Ganguly's 2002 Lord's balcony celebration, but unlike Ganguly's act, this protest faced widespread condemnation.
•Both BJP and opposition leaders, including YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Babul Supriyo, and Lokesh Nara, criticized the protest as 'national shame' and 'poor judgment'.
•Police are taking strict legal action against the detained individuals for disrupting the international event.
