Indian Youth Congress Deletes Rally Video Amid Criticism Over Secret Filming Scenes
The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) deleted a promotional video for its November 1 'Chalo Delhi' rally after criticism that it depicted a man secretly filming women, which many viewed as normalising stalking and harassment. IYC president Uday Bhanu condemned the behaviour but said the video was posted by the IT Cell without full approval. The BJP criticised the video for violating women's dignity and questioned the Congress's accountability. The controversy sparked debate on digital safety and political messaging ahead of the rally.
