The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) demanded that the Prime Minister make Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign, withdraw all the cases foisted by the police against the youth and students protesting in New Delhi and tender an unconditional apology on the excesses committed against the protesters seeking action in the NEET question paper leakage issue.

Speaking at a protest organised by the BRS student wing, BRS Vidyarthi, at Indira Park here on Friday to express solidarity with students protesting in Delhi on the NEET question paper leakage issue, working president of BRS K.T. Rama Rao said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was playing with fire by trying to suppress the voice of Gen Z. He condemned the attempts to brand the protesters as terrorists, anti-nationals and anti-social elements.

Had the Centre been sincere, it would have already held dialogue with the protesters several times to resolve the issue instead of resorting to oppression and intimidation. There was no leader or the party behind the protesting youth and students, the BRS leader said, adding that voluntary support in the form of various means was an indication of the growing unrest among the youth against the Union Government.

Stating that the country was witnessing a dangerous trend in which those demanding accountability were being targeted instead of those responsible for the failures, Mr. Rama Rao said the voice of India’s youth could not be silenced through force or intimidation and asserted that every attempt to suppress democratic dissent would only strengthen such a movement.

Turning to the State government, he said Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy was helping divert public attention from the Centre’s failures and alleged that instead of leading a united fight against the Centre on an issue affecting students across the country, Mr. Reddy had chosen to target the BRS for political gains.

He accused Mr. Revanth Reddy of displaying double standards by avoiding any confrontation with the BJP while attempting to divert attention through attacks on the opposition.

Paddy Cosgrave, founder and Chief Executive of Web Summit, has resigned after his statement on the ongoing Israel-Gaza war sparked a huge controversy. 

Mr Cosgrave, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), had said, “War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.” He was referring to Israel’s counterstrikes on Gaza following the Hamas attacks on October 7.

Mr Cosgrave’s post drew criticism from people on the social media platform. 

Apology

Following this, Paddy Cosgrave issued an apology in a blog post. He said, “Unfortunately, my personal comments have become a distraction from the event, and our team, our sponsors, our startups and the people who attend. I sincerely apologise again for any hurt I have caused.”

The apology came days after investors and technology companies decided to give the Web Summit a miss. The event is scheduled to take place from November 13 to November 16.

Companies withdraw participation

After Mr Cosgrave’s comment, tech giant Google’s spokesperson told Bloomberg that the US-based company, which was also one of the event partners, won’t attend the Summit. 

Amazon, Meta, Siemens AG and Intel have also announced that they will not attend the Summit.

Tech investor Accel CEO Philippe Botteri has said that he would not attend the Web Summit. In a post on LinkedIn, he said, “I went to the WebSummit many times in the past and was supposed to speak again this November. In light of the comments from the founder, I have no choice but to cancel my participation.”

AI21 Labs’ Ori Goshen; Tome’s Keith Peiris; Sequoia Capital partner Ravi Gupta; Yinon Costica, co-founder of Israeli cybersecurity unicorn Wiz; and Y Combinator’s Garry Tan are some of the executives who have decided to withdraw their participation from the event, reported Reuters.

Philippe Botteri, CEO of tech investor Accel, said in a LinkedIn post on Monday he would no longer speak at Web Summit.
