PM Modi bashes Cong over shirtless protest
The Statesman Delhi
|February 23, 2026
Sharpening his attack on the Congress ahead of a politically charged year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused the party of indulging in "dirty and naked politics", alleging that a recent protest at an international summit had embarrassed India before the world.
Speaking at a large public rally in Meerut after inaugurating major infrastructure projects, including the Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor and the Meerut Metro extension, Modi condemned what he described as a “shirtless” protest by the Indian Youth Congress during the India-AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi.
Without mincing his words, he said: “Congress turned a global event into an arena for its dirty and naked politics. The country knows you are already naked, so why was there a need to undress?”

Gilded Cage
At the other end of the political spectrum in Bengal is the ‘Salon; the small circle of elite intellectuals ~ journalists, artists, poets, theatre personalities and academics ~ the self-proclaimed “progressive” Bhadroloks who continue to engage in intellectual discourses creating, critiquing and amplifying political narratives that serve the interests of the rulers by influencing the opinions of ordinary folks. The Salon and the Syndicate are united by one common strand: preservation of the status quo at all costs
