The Congress party rebuked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his critical remarks about their behavior at the India AI Impact Summit. The PM had described it as 'dirty and shameless' politics, following a protest by the Congress that drew attention for being disruptive.

While Modi inaugurated development projects such as the Namo Bharat rail and Meerut Metro Rail extension, he condemned the Congress for turning an international platform into a venue for what he called 'ideologically bankrupt' actions. Congress, in response, maintained that questioning the government is a fundamental right.

The Indian Youth Congress also accused Modi of intentionally diverting discourse away from crucial issues, calling on him to answer the nation's concerns instead of reportedly signing unfavorable trade deals. The controversy has sparked widespread national discussion on political ethics and accountability.
