Mayor Mamdani's 'support' for Umar: Defending rights or diplomatic interference?

In this episode of Newstrack, the focus is on the controversy surrounding New York City's new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who wrote a letter to jailed Indian activist Umar Khalid. The letter, shared by Khalid’s partner, expresses solidarity and urges him to resist bitterness. The show also highlights a letter from eight US lawmakers to the Indian Ambassador advocating for Khalid’s bail. Panellists, including Lt Gen Tiny Dhillon and Ajay Jain Bhutoria, debate whether this constitutes foreign interference or a genuine concern for human rights. Additionally, the programme covers the engagement of Rehan Vadra to Aviva Beg.
