How Indian media and liberals romanticised UAPA accused Umar Khalid's holiday on bail

Op India  

On the eve of 28 December, when the world was indulging in Christmas food and waiting for the new year, student activist Umar Khalid came out of prison to spend a week with his family to attend a wedding. As he is a critic of the US and Israel, despite Khalid’s love for cold drinks, their fridge was filled only with “Campa Cola,” a cold drink brand recently revived by… drumroll… MUKESH DHIRUBHAI AMBANI! While the rest of The Indian Express article was filled with setting a narrative that Umar Khalid is an innocent activist who has been jailed without trial due to “politics” or some other reason, many others jumped on the same bandwagon of making him a superstar — the Allu Arjun of liberals. Darab Farooqui, on 4th January, a day after he went back to jail, wrote, “Umar Khalid will inspire generations to come in India.” It is funny how when either he comes out of jail on bail or there is a bail hearing scheduled, many like Darab take on social media to draw a glorious painting of Khalid, as if he is some celebrity fantasy hero imprisoned by an evil demon away in some unknown castle. Stay strong Umar!” Source: Facebook Umar Khalid and his role in Delhi’s anti-Hindu riots On 14th September 2020, Umar Khalid, former JNU student and son of an ex-SIMI member was arrested for his role in the Delhi anti-Hindu riots that broke out on the 24th of February.
