BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia accused Gandhi of attempting to tarnish India’s global image. Earlier, Gandhi had called the AI Summit a “disorganised PR spectacle” and claimed Chinese products were being displayed there.

Bhatia said, “When it comes to artificial intelligence, anyone lacking intelligence should not post ready-made tweets.” He added that India’s leadership in AI and technology is being recognised internationally under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP stressed that hosting global leaders at the summit is a matter of national pride. Bhatia claimed that Congress often tries to damage India’s reputation instead of appreciating its achievements.

The Rahul Gandhi AI Summit exchange highlights the importance of informed commentary on India’s emerging role in artificial intelligence and global technology events. Political debates over such initiatives continue to dominate public discourse.

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the Centre for Trade and Investment Law (CTIL), hosted a seminar titled “Demystifying the IPR Chapter in the India–UK CETA.” Policymakers, experts, academics, and industry representatives explored opportunities and challenges in the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) chapter.

Experts clarified that the IPR chapter supports innovation without limiting India’s policy space. It aligns with India’s legal framework and developmental priorities while modernising IP protections. Participants noted that voluntary licensing remains preferred, and flexibilities for public health, including compulsory licensing, remain intact under the Doha Declaration.

Geographical Indications (GIs) were highlighted as a key opportunity to protect Indian products in the UK market. Officials said the IPR chapter sets a benchmark for future trade agreements, combining regulatory rigor with flexibility. It aims to boost exports, strengthen India’s cultural branding, and enhance its global trade position.
