A court in Delhi remanded him to 10 days of police custody. \u201cThere was nothing objectionable in his speeches,\u201d said Khalid\u2019s lawyer Trideep Pais. \u201cBeing opposed to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is not a crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A day after his arrest, Times Now trended the hashtag #UmarLobbySecretTape on the daily show &#8216;India Upfront&#8217; where the channel claimed, &#8220;Chat exposes \u2018radicals\u2019 allegedly linked to Umar Khalid.&#8221; Anchor Rahul Shivshankar said that the &#8220;activist lobby&#8221; admitted in a &#8220;private chat&#8221; that Khalid is aligned with a &#8220;dangerous&#8221; organisation. The group that he refers to is the Popular Front of India (PFI) which has been accused of allegedly inciting and funding the riots. Shivshankar accused Khalid of &#8220;radicalising Muslims&#8221;. The channel then played a video of a conference call on Zoom which it claimed was a &#8220;leaked private chat&#8221; between Left-wing activists. The ticker above the video read, &#8220;Damming admission tape.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Times Now &#039;India Upfront&#039; Sep 15 broadcast on #UmarLobbySecretTape\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/458501333?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The video &#8220;evidence&#8221; is played right after Shivshankar&#8217;s impassioned monologue on &#8220;anti-national&#8221; activities driven by the &#8220;Left Lutyens lobby&#8221; to save Umar Khalid.<\/p>\n<p>The group call begins with Bengaluru activist Zia Nomani saying, &#8220;I would like to bring to your notice the rise of another Right-wing organisation that is working with Muslims here in Bangalore. I am sure you all must be very concerned about what is happening in Bangalore and the narrative that is being set due to the unfortunate incidents. But what we are missing is the Right-wing rise of the SDPI (Social Democratic Party of India) and the PFI&#8230;Now we might have differences and we can debate on whether these organisations should be banned or not, but yes they should definitely be prosecuted for the radicalisation of youth&#8230;Now Prashant Bhushan is a founder of Swaraj India and he was wrongly punished for contempt. But that doesn&#8217;t mean that I talk about torching the Supreme Court. SDPI says if things are not happening [in your way], take matters in your own hands through violent measures&#8230;SDPI and PFI need to be countered.&#8221; SDPI is the political outfit of the PFI.<\/p>\n<p>Activist and journalist Teesta Setalvad responds to Nomani saying, &#8220;I admire your honesty and integrity but I only want to add two points&#8230;Whenever there is such a tendency developing among Muslims, we can&#8217;t [counter it] with bitterness&#8230;I will only say this much for now that SDPI and PFI remain problematic for people like us &#8211; Communalism Combats, CJP, Sabrang India &#8211; we have taken a public stand not to share a platform with them. People who consider themselves Left, should also stand against them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the conversation continues to address the dangers of the said organisations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Viewers, if SDPI and PFI need to be countered then why defend someone who is allegedly linked to SDPI and PFI&#8230;Today Umar Khalid is accused of collaborating with PFI to burn Delhi, that&#8217;s what the police is saying and Swaraj India and every other activist from the Left is defending Umar Khalid. Can you believe this?&#8221; &#8211; questioned Shivshankar.<\/p>\n<h4>Old public chat aired as &#8220;private&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>The chat that Times Now claims was accessed by the channel after it was &#8220;leaked&#8221; by intelligence agencies is nothing but a webinar held on August 16 by civil rights activists.
