BJP holds demonstration outside Congress office against ‘shirtless’ protest at AI summit

BJP protests outside Congress office, criticizing Rahul Gandhi for 'shirtless' demonstration at AI summit, calling it a betrayal.

The BJP leaders and workers on Saturday (February 21, 2026) held a demonstration near Congress headquarters on Akbar Road here against a "shirtless" protest by the latter's youth wing at the AI Impact Summit.

The BJP protesters, carrying placards and raising slogans, slammed the Congress and its leader, Rahul Gandhi, calling them "traitors" for allegedly tarnishing the nation's image.

Leading the protest, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and Lok Sabha MP Manoj Tiwari termed the demonstration by IYC as an act of "treason".

Mr. Sachdeva, while addressing the protesters, said the Congress and its leader, Rahul Gandhi, are unable to digest the country's success. While opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they have now started opposing India.

"The protest by hired goons of the Congress dented the image of the country on the world stage, and every Indian who takes pride in the success of the country is ashamed by it," he said.

Several BJP leaders, including state general secretary Vishnu Mittal and MLA Raj Kumar Bhatia, along with a large number of workers, gathered for the protest at Man Singh Road.
