Umar Khalid’s father Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas has also reacted to the sloganeering in Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). He said, “I have received information that there was a protest against the bail granted to Umar and Sharjeel. They raised slogans, but did not issue any statement, which is a different thing. However, their anger or protest was not of that kind.”
Qasim Rasool said, “Actually, a trend has started now that if someone protests or raises slogans, an FIR is registered against him and a charge sheet is prepared, while rapists or convicted criminals get bail.”
‘Umar not getting bail is part of political conspiracy’- Father
Umar Khalid’s father alleged that despite lack of evidence and Umar Khalid not being present during the riots, he and others were denied bail, while some other accused in the same FIR were granted bail. He called it a political target.
‘Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid were accused together’- father
Umar Khalid’s father Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas said, “Kanhaiya Kumar is currently a politician and due to his association with the party, there is a lot of political pressure on him. It seems that he considers his political interests more important than raising questions on Umar Khalid’s issue.
He further said, “It is clear that Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid were classmates in JNU and both were named accused in the 2016 FIR. Despite this, Kanhaiya Kumar is keeping himself away from this entire matter. It seems quite strange, but his political compulsions have become shackles on his feet and nothing much can be done about it.”
