KOHIMA, Feb 26: The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has expressed strong disapproval of the disruption reportedly caused by members of the Indian National Congress during the India AI Impact Summit 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on February 20, 2026.
The NPF fully respects the democratic right to protest and recognises dissent as an essential element of India’s democratic framework. However, it views the interruption of a global summit, at a time when India is presenting its technological progress and leadership to the international community, as unfortunate and ill-timed. Such actions risk undermining the nation’s image and distracting from its strategic priorities.

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 was an official Government of India programme, not a party event and was attended by international delegates, technology leaders, investors and policymakers. As such, it represented a platform to showcase India’s innovation, stability and policy commitment to the world.
The NPF therefore appealed to all political parties to exercise restraint and to refrain from using international forums for partisan confrontation. It stated that disagreements, no matter how strongly felt, should be expressed through Parliament and other constitutional mechanisms, where they can be debated responsibly and transparently. The party asserted that national interest must always take precedence over party politics.
The NPF further called upon all stakeholders to uphold the dignity of democratic processes and to act in ways that safeguard and strengthen India’s global image.
