Hyderabad: Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao on Wednesday criticised the Indian Youth Congress for defending their “shirtless” protest at the AI Impact Summit, alleging that the Congress has “lost its sense of nationalism.”Rao said the youth leaders showed no remorse for their actions during the international event and accused them of tarnishing India’s image before a global audience.
He also objected to their claim that the demonstration was aimed at opposing the proposed India-US interim trade agreement .According to Rao, the protest and the subsequent justification reflect poorly on the Indian National Congress. He added that while party members may prioritise Rahul Gandhi, most Indians place the nation first, and described the Youth Congress’s defence of the protest as an attempt to rationalise inappropriate conduct. “Youth Congress leaders who protested during the AI summit, their statement after release is much more ungrateful to the country.
They do not regret what they have done. They have shamed India before the international community during the protest at the International Summit. Now, they say that they have protested for the India-US agreement… The Congress party has lost the sense of nationalism… For them, Rahul Gandhi may be everything, but for Indians, their country comes first… The Youth Congress is trying to justify what they have done,” said Ramchander Rao.
Meanwhile, following his release from jail, Indian Youth Congress chief Uday Bhanu Chib on Tuesday arrived at the party headquarters. He stated that the Congress and IYC workers are fighting against India-US trade deal which is against the farmers of the country. Chib added that Congress would continue fight under the leadership of LoP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
“Congress members who protested and Youth Congress members are fighting against this. The way this US deal has been done, it is against the farmers of the country. We will continue this struggle against it. The Congress party and the Youth Congress will continue this struggle under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi because this deal is causing losses to the farmers of the country… That is why we are protesting,” Chib told ANI.
