ABVP Opposes Umar Khalid Documentary Screening at NLSIU Bengaluru
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in Bengaluru has opposed the planned screening of Lalit Vachani's documentary on activist Umar Khalid at the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), citing concerns over political propaganda and national integrity. The screening, organized by NLSIU's Law Society Committee, marks six years since Khalid's arrest under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act related to the 2020 Delhi riots. Supporters view the event as solidarity with Khalid, while critics, including ABVP and advocate Girish Bharadwaj, urge cancellation to maintain institutional integrity.
