Sultanpur (UP), February 21 Members of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha burned an effigy of Rahul Gandhi in Sultanpur on Saturday in protest against the "shirtless protest" by Indian Youth Congress workers during the AI Impact Summit held in Delhi.
In the presence of police officers, the office bearers of the Bhartiya Janta Party's youth wing and hundreds of workers expressed their anger at the Collectorate gate, BJYM district president Chandan Narayan Singh said.
During the protest, the BJYM workers burned the effigy of Rahul Gandhi and raised slogans against him.
Following the protest, BJYM workers submitted a memorandum demanding the identification and strict legal action against those responsible for the incident to District Magistrate and City Magistrate Preeti Jain at the Collectorate.
A group of Indian Youth Congress workers had staged a dramatic "shirtless protest" at an AI Impact Summit exhibition hall on Friday, walking around holding t-shirts with slogans against the government and the India-US trade deal printed on them.
Four people have been arrested in connection with this, with IYC national president Uday Bhanu Chib asserting that the organization was not against the AI summit but against "any compromise with India's interests".
