There was uproar during AI summit

Apart from top leaders of the country and the world, CEOs of many big companies participated in the AI ​​Summit organized at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. Indian Youth Congress workers had protested in this summit. After this, the police took action and arrested many workers including Indian Youth Congress National President Uday Bhanu Chib. In Chib’s arrest memo, he was described as the main conspirator and mastermind of the illegal gathering at Bharat Mandapam. Apart from this, Congress leaders were also arrested from different parts of the country.

Counterattack between BJP and Congress

There has been a war of words between Congress and BJP regarding this protest held at the AI ​​Summit. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also targeted the shirtless protest of Congress during a public meeting in Meerut. BJP has accused it of damaging the country’s image. At the same time, Congress is calling the arrest of Congress workers unconstitutional. Congress said that the Constitution of the country gives every citizen the right to protest and we are not afraid of these tactics.

Patiala House Court sent five Youth Congress workers arrested for protesting at the AI ​​Summit to police custody for 3 days.
These accused will be produced again in Patiala House Court on March 1. Out of these five accused, three Youth Congress workers arrested from Shimla are Saurabh, Arbaaz and Siddharth while two already arrested accused are Ajay and Raja Gurjar.

More than 1 lakh T-shirts were printed – Delhi Police

Delhi Police told the court that Youth Congress worker Siddharth had designed the T-shirt. Whereas Saurabh Singh had created a WhatsApp group for the protest. Saurabh and Siddharth did not go inside. Arbaaz Khan had gone inside to perform. Police say that more than one lakh T-shirts were printed by the accused. According to the investigating agency, all the people involved in the case are said to be associated with the Congress party.

‘Custody necessary to investigate funding conspiracy’

Police told the court that police custody of the accused is necessary to investigate the conspiracy, funding and role of other people in the case. Delhi Police told the court that it is necessary to interrogate all the accused face to face in the case, for which police custody is required. Delhi Police said that these people were continuously hiding from the police and they have no fear of the law.

The defense side gave this argument

The defense lawyer said, no hate speech was given. Claimed that people associated with the youth wing of the opposition party are being politically targeted. According to the lawyer of Youth Congress, whatever demonstration took place is in front of everyone. Are these people being targeted? 11 people have already been arrested. All the footage is there, there are videos, what is their crime? Were just demonstrating. If you see the FIR, it is similar to the JNU case… only piecemeal FIR is being implemented here, those youth were protesting against the paper leak. They are making a mockery of legal principles. The police were opposed by the accused.
