It's big sin against nation: Kiren Rijiju slams Congress over AI summit protest

New Delhi: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress, alleging that the party had committed a "big sin" against the country by deploying its youth wing to stage a protest at the India AI Impact Summit.

Terming the demonstration "shameful," Rijiju claimed the protest by the Congress youth wing was not a mistake but a "well-thought-out conspiracy" to malign India.

"The Congress committed a big sin against the country by sending its youth wing to protest at the AI Summit," he said at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here.


"Using youths to defame the country - nothing could be more shameful than this," he added.

Rijiju further said that while the country was condemning the protest, Congress leaders remained unapologetic.
