Congress Mahila Morcha Hits Back at BJP Over AI Summit Protest, Raises Questions on Farmers, Transparency and Governance

The Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee – Mahila Morcha has strongly criticized the statement from the BJP Sikkim Mahila Morcha about the peaceful protest during the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam.

In a press statement released on Sunday, the Congress Mahila Morcha clarified that the demonstration was a symbolic and democratic way to show support for Indian farmers. It rejected any claims that the protest was inappropriate or aimed at harming India’s global image.

According to the organization, the protest aimed to bring attention to concerns among farmers about trade agreements between the BJP-led Union Government and the United States, which could lead to large-scale American agricultural imports entering Indian markets. The Mahila Morcha warned that such a move, if implemented without proper safeguards, could severely hurt the livelihoods of small and marginal farmers across the country.

The statement stressed that while the summit celebrated Artificial Intelligence and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the crisis facing India’s agriculture could not be overlooked. “Standing with farmers is not anti-India; it is pro-India,” the release stated.

The Mahila Morcha also accused the BJP of trying to distract from real issues by attacking a peaceful protest. It posed several questions for the BJP’s state and national leaders.
