INDIA bloc youth back IYC after police crackdown on AI Summit shirtless protest

Youth organisations backed by INDIA parties closed ranks on Monday to condemn the police crackdown on the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) following its “shirtless” protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the AI summit last month.

At a media conference on the sidelines of an ongoing satyagraha at the IYC headquarters, Fahad Ahmad, president of the Nationalist Youth Congress (Sharadchandra Pawar), said: “You have closed all the places of protest in this country…. Protests are meant to offend people in power.”
