You’ve heard a lot about Umar Khalid through the media. But amid the media witch-hunt against him, there has been very little space for him to speak for himself, especially since he’s spent the last six years in jail.
So I want to tell you a little about my friend Umar, in his own words, as shared with his family and friends.
Waving the Tricolour at Jantar Mantar in a peaceful protest is not a crime. Jailing youth for it is an act of cowardice.
Students. Youth. Journalists. The INDIA bloc. Different banners, one cause. All protests are one: citizens demanding their constitutional rights.
Jantar Mantar belongs to the people of India. We will reclaim it.
इसलिए श्याम हिम्मत से डटे
हुए थे। उन्हें हिरासत में नहीं, टारगेट
किया गया है। किस लिए पत्रकारों को टारगेट किया जा रहा है? क्या सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने तय कर लिया है कि यह सब देखेंगे ही नहीं ?
DEEPLY DISTURBING!
BJP-RSS goons beating a young girl in the presence of Delhi Police, with an officer seemingly guiding them to stop the recording.
Why is Delhi Police helping goons attack peaceful protestors instead of protecting them? Who gave them this free hand?
