BJP workers in Mumbai waved black flags at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as he travelled to a court hearing, accusing him of tarnishing India’s image after Youth Congress activists staged a shirtless protest at the AI Impact Summit in Delhi. The demonstrators alleged Gandhi consistently opposes Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiatives. Police maintained heavy security to prevent clashes. Congress leaders, including Sachin Sawant, condemned the black-flag show as a diversion from key public issues and accused the BJP of theatrics. The Nationalist Congress Party also denounced the protest as undemocratic. (PC: PTI)
