00:00my colleague Rahul Gautam who has been tracking every single development of what transpired at
00:05the Bharat Mandapam while this ruckus unfolded. Now we do understand Rahul that some of those
00:11protesters who have been detained do give us details about how many of them actually barged in
00:18holding those posters, raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and were all of
00:23them then detained by the cops. You know a couple of dozen congress workers they entered into the
00:31venue of AI Summit as Bharat Mandapam and you know as it appears that you know they were not carrying
00:37any play cards they were only wearing t-shirts which were concealed by the shirt that they were
00:45wearing and once they entered into the venue they tore their shirts and they came out with these
00:51you know t-shirts upon which there were slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi against AI Summit
00:56and they were they were alleging that this is this AI Summit is only a is only a PR send
01:03or a mere photo
01:04opportunity you know for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. So clearly you know Congress as I was telling you
01:08earlier also has been very critical about AI Summit. From the very beginning they were saying that
01:15this is an attempt only to enhance the image of BGP government. This is this is a way to trade
01:22off
01:23Indian data. It's a compromised event. So clearly you can say that you know as we heard the BGP
01:29spokesperson as well. Clearly now BGP would turn away would turn and say that you know this is an
01:34attempt on the part of Congress to to embarrass you know India on global levels given the fact that
01:41there are delegates which will come from all across the countries you know we've been showcasing our
01:45you know best of the technologies but at the same time you know it has become a battleground you know
01:51between political parties that obviously you know reflects very poorly on the part of the country.
01:57So expect that this is going to become a major issue in coming days.
02:00But Raul it is an embarrassment indeed when a global summit of this scale is being showcased out of India
02:08and this is not just merely political this is also about the many many stakeholders the many many exhibitors
02:15who are a part of that AI Summit. Like you said that even for journalists it took a couple of
02:20minutes
02:20to actually understand what was happening, who these protesters were, whether it was political
02:26and for all those people who are a part of that AI Summit to actually understand why these protests were
02:32happening
02:33could have been intimidating at an initial level. And like you're saying that the opposition has been critical
02:40of the AI Summit well within its right to criticize the government. But such scenes can certainly be embarrassing.
02:47Let me also take this to my colleague Arvind Oja Huzvidas on the broadcast.
02:51Arvind, please give us more information about how these youth congress workers were in the room.
02:56They had protested by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi against Nare and now they were detained.
03:02And they were detained, so it was Dennis, zastos developed.
03:08When the investigation went into Indian退來, we were detained for others automatically.
03:18and according to their legal action, the police will be able to do it because it is an international summit
03:25where people from other countries have come and they will be able to do it with any kind of hordang
03:32or any kind of summit to derail, if they will try to do it, then the police will be able
03:38to do it.
03:39So, the police have detained some people and the legal action will be able to do it.
03:46Aarvind, is there a knowledge that they entered into the summit,
03:52whether they have passes, whether they registered on the website,
03:57whether these people have been established by the police and now what action will be taken?
04:06The online portal is on the AI summit.
04:20Aarvind, is there a way to do it.
04:23The police have said that the police will be able to do it.
04:33So, the police will be able to do it.
04:39The police will be able to do it.
04:42The police will be able to do it.
04:54The police will be able to do it.
04:55We will go to a message from this protest.
04:56The police will be able to do it.
05:09We will be able to do it.
05:38Thank you very much.
06:09Thank you very much.
06:11I want to go back to my colleague Rahul Gautam who continues to stay with us on the broadcast. Rahul,
06:23like you're saying that action will certainly be taken.
06:55And how they managed to make their way inside. But this was very clear that they were looking for an
07:01opportune time to go ahead and stage this protest.
07:06Well, all these questions will be only answered after a detailed police investigation.
07:11But as you rightly pointed out, the very intent was clear. That is to make themselves heard. They wanted to
07:19create a media glare by doing this act.
07:24Obviously, you know, there were a lot of media presence there. At Bharat Mandapam, not just they were chanting slogans,
07:29they were also flashing their t-shirts, you know, on which they were prime minister's picture, they were slogans.
07:37And clearly, you know, the idea on their part was only to create a media glare. And it seems that,
07:44you know, to some extent they have been successful.
07:48Also, we must tell our viewers that these, you know, a couple of dozen congress workers have already been detained
07:54by Delhi police, have already been taken away by Delhi police officials.
07:58And now, you know, a probe would be undertaken as to how they got, you know, access to this covoted
08:05AI summit.
08:06And also, you know, whether they already had registered themselves, whether they got, you know, entered illegally.
08:14All these things are now part of the police investigation.
08:16But one thing is very clear that this is now going to become a major flashpoint because BGP is already
08:22decrying that it was an anti-India mindset of Congress that has been displayed.
08:29And, you know, the objective of this protest was only to embarrass India at global level.
08:37Rawal, would also be interesting to know what more you're learning from your sources within the Congress.
08:41Will there be an official statement? Will they distance themselves from this particular incident?
08:47Or, you know, will there be any sort of ownership really to understand who was responsible for staging protests of
08:53this nature?
08:54We understand where the Congress is coming from.
08:56They have been critical of the summit. They have been critical of the government.
08:59But such scenes on a global stage have been embarrassing.
09:03And we wait and watch whether there will be a statement from the Congress on this in the next couple
09:10of hours.
