Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra expressed support for jailed activist Umar Khalid by sharing a poem after the Supreme Court denied his bail in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The court found Khalid and Sharjeel Imam to be in a different category regarding the alleged conspiracy, while granting bail to five co-accused. BJP leaders criticized Moitra's support, labeling it as the work of an 'anti-India urban naxal gang' and linking it to protests and slogans raised on the JNU campus.
