Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on the Congress over a shirtless protest at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in Delhi, accusing the party of turning a global event into a platform for dirty and ‘naked’ politics.
“Just now, you saw that the world’s largest AI Impact Summit took place in India. Representatives from more than 80 countries around the world came to Delhi. Such a conference has never happened before in any of the developing countries of the world,” PM Modi said while launching development projects in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut.
“However, Congress turned a global event for India into a platform for its dirty and naked politics. Congress leaders reached the venue naked in front of the foreign guests. I ask the Congress people, the country knows that you are already naked, so why did you feel the need to take off your clothes?” he remarked.
