[Delhi Riots] To speak up for mistreated minority doesn’t make him communal: Counsel for Umar Khalid to Delhi court

Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad responded to this contention, saying,

Investigation is going on. The choice of accused is prerogative of the investigation agency. It is a settled law whether from the persons we’ll make accused or witnesses.”

On the point of the chargesheet using the words “diabolical, insidious, rabid” to denote the February 2020, violence, Pais argued there was nothing diabolical about Khalid’s speech in Amravati, Maharashtra.

The prosecution has relied upon the speech to demonstrate the conspiracy charge against Khalid.

I’m talking about Gandhi, Constitution….Chargesheet is not about facts…A story which prosecution wants to peddle.”
