Summary
A group of Indian Youth Congress workers briefly disrupted the AI Impact Summit in Delhi by staging a protest and raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leading to their swift removal and detention by security personnel.
According to PTI, around 10 people were detained during the incident at the exhibition hall. A senior police officer stated that they were protesting at the summit and were taken to Tilak Marg police station. "They were removed immediately and were taken to Tilak Marg police station. No one will be allowed to breach law and order situation," the officer said.
The protesters entered Hall No 5, wearing or holding white T-shirts printed with images of Prime Minister Modi and US President Donald Trump, along with slogans such as "India US Trade Deal", "Epstein Files" and "PM is compromised". This caused a commotion, with heated exchanges between some attendees and a few protesters.
PTI reported that while the group carried no party flags or symbols indicating political affiliation, one of them claimed to be "from the Indian Youth Congress". A Delhi Police personnel on duty mentioned plans to heighten security inside the halls following the "unfortunate episode".
The protest lasted only a few minutes before the group was bundled out, catching guests and visitors by surprise amid the high-profile event.
The AI Impact Summit is taking place from February 16-20 at Bharat Mandapam, featuring heads of state, global AI leaders, academicians, researchers, heads of tech giants, and philanthropists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 2026 summit on Thursday, attended by world leaders and tech executives.
As the protesters moved to the lobby and shouted "PM is compromised" against a large backdrop, a guest with an authenticated entry badge confronted them, saying it is they "who were compromised" as this episode "tarnished the image of India". The guest called on security to remove them.
