IMPHAL, Feb 26: Manipur youth congress on Thursday demanded immediate release of Indian National Youth Congress president Uday Bhanu Chib who has been arrested for holding a “peaceful protest” at global AI summit in New Delhi.
Addressing a press conference here, Manipur Youth congress spokesperson Ningthoujam Popilal told reporters “the BJP led government has unreasonably detained youth congress workers in connection with a peaceful protest at an AI summit in New Delhi. Several cases have been wrongly registered against them as well. Recently, at state BJP office, BJP Mahilla Morcha president claimed congress had embarassed the nation in front of 108 countries.”
The former youth congress president continued “we want to clarify that congress never sold the country. It is the BJP which is selling the nation. We know what happened at the AI summit. A Chinese robot was presented as an invention of the country. BJP had sold the nation from there onwards. Youth congress had protested against those theatrics.”
“If you recall, it was in 2010 commonwealth games when BJP workers had raised a massive protest in front of international players” he said.
“We also demand the immediate release of Indian Youth Congress president who has been arrested” he added.
