Protesters detained

The protesters demanded that Rahul Gandhi leave the venue and raised slogans asking him to go back. Police detained the activists to prevent further disruption. They were subsequently shifted to local police stations.

Additionally, Telangana BJP chief Ramchander Rao earlier in the day claimed that he, alongside other party leaders, was placed under house arrest to prevent protests against Gandhi’s visit to the city.

Rahul Gandhi arrived in the city on November 13 to present his vision for India and the world along with an alternative approach to the country’s foreign policy, at the second Bharat Summit being held in Hyderabad from November 12.

On Saturday morning at Shamshabad Airport, Gandhi received a grand welcome from Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu and State Congress president Bomma Mahesh Kumar Goud upon his arrival in the city.

Bharat Summit in Hyderabad

Being organised by the Telangana government, the Bharat Summit is billed as the first major international gathering of progressive leaders after landmark electoral outcomes in Brazil, Hungary and Serbia, and comes immediately after the US midterm elections.

A flagship Global South gathering, the summit honours the legacy of Afro-Asian solidarity and the Non-Aligned Movement, a tradition India helped shape, and one the world needs again.

Over 1,000 delegates from 70 countries, including policymakers, party leaders, thinkers and changemakers, will participate in the three-day event.
