Four Youth Congress workers have been denied bail and sent to police remand for protesting against the government during the India-AI Impact Summit, which the police claim was inspired by a violent movement in Nepal.
The Patiala House Court in India has denied bail to four Youth Congress activists who protested against the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the India-AI Impact Summit, resulting in their remand to police custody for five days. During the hearing, Delhi Police made significant claims regarding the motives behind the protest, asserting that it was motivated by a violent demonstration in Nepal that led to the overthrow of the local government. The police suggested that there could be a larger conspiracy at play behind this protest.
In their arguments, the Delhi Police emphasized the necessity of interrogating the accused with each other and with digital evidence in order to uncover the origins of funding for the protest and to determine who financed the production of protest t-shirts. These shirts featured slogans like 'PM is Compromised', 'India-US Trade Deal', and 'Epstein Files', along with images of Prime Minister Modi and former U.S. President Donald Trump. The police expressed the need to thoroughly investigate these aspects to understand the broader implications of the protest.
Additionally, the article mentions a countrywide protest by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), which indicates a political climate charged with dissent and opposing narratives in India. This situation underscores the complexities of political protests in India and raises questions about the interconnectedness of domestic movements with international events, further challenging the government.
