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.
posham pa bhai posham pa,
daakuon ne kya kiya?
sau rupaye ki ghadi churayi,
do rupaye ki rabri khayi.
ab toh jail mai jaana padega,
jail ki roti khaani padegi,
jail ka paani peena padega!
