Owaisi blames Congress for Umar Khalid & Sharjeel Imam's long jail without trial

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has accused the Congress of creating stricter provisions in the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act during its UPA tenure — amendments he says are now being used to deny bail and keep activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam behind bars years after their arrest in the 2020 Delhi riots case. Owaisi also criticized how detention powers under UAPA are applied, especially against minorities, as the Supreme Court recently refused bail to the two undertrials.
