Owaisi Blames Congress for Khalid, Imam's Denied Bail Under UAPA

  • AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi blamed Congress for Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam's denied bail under UAPA.
  • He stated UAPA, under which they were booked, was enacted during a Congress-led government.
  • Owaisi criticized political parties for misusing secularism for electoral gains, harming minorities.
  • He highlighted the Supreme Court's denial of bail to Khalid and Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case, citing UAPA's strict provisions.
  • Owaisi claimed he was the only MP to oppose UAPA, warning of its misuse against Muslims, Dalits, tribals, and intellectuals.

Why It Matters: Owaisi holds Congress responsible for the stringent UAPA, leading to denied bail for Khalid and Imam.
