ABVP Opposes Umar Khalid Documentary Screening at NLSIU Bengaluru Campus
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has opposed the planned screening of Lalit Vachani's documentary on activist Umar Khalid at the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru, scheduled for September 14. ABVP alleges Khalid's involvement in controversial protests and urges cancellation to preserve campus integrity. The screening, organized by NLSIU's Law Society, marks six years since Khalid's arrest under the UAPA related to the 2020 Delhi riots. Supporters emphasize academic discussion on civil liberties, while opponents view the event as political propaganda.
