Ujjain, February 24 Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday described the half-naked protest at the recent AI Summit in Delhi as an attack on the identity of Mother India, which reflected the Congress's "anti-India" mindset.
"No words can adequately condemn the actions of the Congress party, which has tarnished the country's image," said the BJP MP while addressing the Rural Postal Conference in Ujjain.
A group of Youth Congress workers had staged a protest with bare chests at the AI Summit in Delhi last week, leading to the arrest of Indian Youth Congress president Uday Bhanu Chib and others.
Scindia said that several heads of state and representatives from nearly 90 countries had attended the summit, which was an opportunity to showcase India's AI capabilities to the world.
"Protesting half-naked at such a platform is an attack on the identity of Mother India. This demonstrates that the anti-India sentiment is deeply ingrained in the Congress party's mindset," the minister added.
Earlier, Scindia and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated the state-level conference of the Rural Postal Service in Ujjain.
Yadav highlighted new innovations in various fields in Madhya Pradesh, besides the digitization of postal services.
"A facility for delivering the Prasad of Omkareshwar and Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlingas to every home through postal services has now been started," he added.
