BJYM Protests Outside Rajasthan PCC Over IYC Shirtless Protest

Jaipur: The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha on Saturday staged a demonstration outside the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters here over the ‘shirtless protest’ by IYC workers at the AI summit in New Delhi.

The BJYM workers, led by state president Shankar Gora, gathered at Shaheed Smarak and marched towards the PCC office, raising slogans.

Gora alleged that the Congress had “tarnished the country’s image” by staging such a protest at the summit attended by international delegates.

A group of Indian Youth Congress workers had on Friday staged a dramatic ‘shirtless protest’ at an AI Impact Summit exhibition hall, walking around holding T-shirts with slogans against the government and the India-US trade deal printed on those.

Gora warned that BJYM workers would continue protests if such incidents were repeated.

Police made security arrangements and put up barricades near the PCC office on Sansar Chand Road. A scuffle broke out as some protesters attempted to cross the barricades, but police stopped them.
