Congress leader defends Umar Khalid, attacks ABVP over documentary row

Congress leader B K Hariprasad defended jailed activist Umar Khalid, describing him as a nationalist, while attacking the ABVP student organization. The remarks came amid controversy over National Law School of India University's plan to screen a documentary on Khalid.

Hariprasad accused the ABVP of "adoring Nathuram Godse" in his critique of the student group. The documentary screening has become a point of contention, with differing views on whether the event should proceed.
