In a heated television debate, a Congress party spokesperson defended Youth Congress workers who were detained following a protest at an international AI summit. The spokesperson argued that the government is trying to scare people into never protesting, stating: ‘This is stifling dissent. I think this sends a chilling effect message to everybody in the country.’ The Congress representative emphasized that peaceful protest is a constitutional right, declaring: ‘You cannot criminalize peaceful protest because this is Mahatma Gandhi’s India.’ The BJP spokesperson countered that the protesters created a riot-like situation at a global event and were appropriately charged under sections including obstructing public officials, assaulting officers, hate speech and criminal conspiracy. The debate also touched upon broader issues of government accountability, with references to trade deals and ministerial controversies. Both party representatives exchanged sharp criticism over historical and contemporary political conduct.
