Bansal minced no words, stating the protest had laid bare Congress’s insidious outlook. He lambasted party figures equating the disruption to Bhagat Singh’s sacrifices, deeming it an outrageous insult to India’s freedom struggle. ‘Crossing from political dissent to national betrayal is unacceptable,’ he declared, stressing the need for vigilance against such trends.

Expanding his critique, Bansal targeted Congress’s legacy on illegal immigration, describing it as a persistent malaise gnawing at the nation’s core. He detailed how Bangladeshi infiltrators, including jihadist elements, have reshaped populations in West Bengal and Assam. ‘The moment anyone speaks out, a jihadist lobby mobilizes,’ he said, commending the Modi government’s ‘detect, delete, deport’ strategy as a firm step forward.

On the economic front, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari unleashed criticism of the Indo-US trade agreement, accusing it of favoring America through unilateral tariffs. He claimed PM Modi was being leveraged, invoking Trump’s comments on linking deals to India-Pakistan tensions like Operation Sindoor. Tiwari highlighted the disparity: Indian farmers till tiny plots while US agribusiness spans thousands of acres, predicting ruinous impacts on India’s rural backbone if equalized without safeguards.

This episode at the AI Summit and beyond reveals escalating tensions, where technology events become battlegrounds for ideological wars, infiltration debates rage on, and trade pacts fuel partisan fury.
