Political rhetoric has intensified regarding the uproar at the AI Summit. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju launched a scathing attack on the Congress and said that the conduct of the opposition is embarrassing the country. He alleged that Congress has not only committed a crime but has also committed a crime against the country and it should apologize for it. Rijiju also targeted Rahul Gandhi, calling him ‘unintelligent’.
‘Congress’s character is embarrassing the country’- Rijiju
The Union Minister said that Congress has damaged India’s image by protesting on international platforms like AI Summit. According to him, such incidents defame the country and give a wrong message at the global level. Rijiju said that Congress is trying to justify this incident, which is even more unfortunate. Describing it as ‘orgy’, he said that the opposition should introspect on its behaviour.
Congress itself is becoming a cause of national shame.
This is a Global AI Summit not a BJP Election rally! Congress Party itself has become a “National Shame”!!

‘Speak on government policies, not against the country’
Rijiju said that the opposition has every right to criticize the policies of the government, but it is not acceptable to protest against the country or create ruckus on the international stage. He alleged that instead of opposing the policies of the government, Congress is doing politics of damaging the image of the country.
‘Congress is disappointed with the election defeat’
The Union Minister claimed that Congress is facing continuous defeat in the elections and out of frustration it is taking such steps. He said that the public is repeatedly rejecting Congress, due to which the party is in panic.
Direct attack on Rahul Gandhi
Taking aim at Rahul Gandhi, Rijiju said that he goes abroad and gives statements against India, which is not appropriate. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working for India’s prestige and world welfare at the global level, while the opposition is engaged in irresponsible rhetoric.
