Umar Khalid

"To substantiate claims that a larger conspiracy to cause communal riots was hatched by Umar Khalid, SSP Amit Prasad read out a statement of a witness who had confirmed that Umar Khalid during a meeting had said: “Sarkar musalmano ke khilaaf hai, bhashan se kaam nahi chalega, khoon bahana padega,” translated as (The government is against the Muslims, only talking is not enough, we will have to shed blood)."

"In the bail hearing that continued on Thursday, February 3, SPP Amit Prasad told the bench of Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat, that they have witnesses on record saying the accused gave a statement saying ‘musalmaano ke liye alag rashtra banana hai’ (Have to create a separate nation for Muslims). “There is no ambiguity in this,” said SSP. The Government counsel presented another statement of a professor named Dr Apurvanand who had said before the magistrate that the Delhi riots accused had reportedly said “Sarkar ko Jhukana and, Hindu-musalman karwana hai” (We need to bring the government on its knees, separate Hindu-Muslims)."
