Zohran Mamdani Pens Letter to Delhi Riots Accused Umar Khalid

New York City’s Indian-origin mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who became the city’s first Asian American and Muslim mayor last year, also expressed solidarity with jailed activist and former JNU student Umar Khalid and wrote a letter to him .

Khalid's friend Banojyotsna Lahiri shared a photograph of the note 34-year-old Mamdani wrote to Khalid on social media platform X which read, “Dear Umar, I think of your words on bitterness often, and the importance of not letting it consume one’s self. It was a pleasure to meet your parents. We are all thinking of you."

The note was handed over to Khalid’s parents when Mamdani met them during their visit to the United States in December 2025, according to multiple media reports.



In an open attempt to interfere in the Indian judiciary system, eight US lawmakers have written to India’s Ambassador in Washington, urging that jailed activist Umar Khalid be granted bail and a fair, timely trial.

Khalid, accused in the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 Delhi riots, has been in custody for over five years under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), with his trial yet to begin.

Led by US Representatives Jim McGovern and Jamie Raskin, the letter meddling in India's judicial affairs, not only urges Indian authorities to grant bail to ‘Tukde Tukde’ activist Khalid, but also ensure that his trial begins without further delay. Other signatories of the letter include Chris Van Hollen, Peter Welch, Pramila Jayapal, Jan Schakowsky, Rashida Tlaib and Lloyd Doggett.

While highlighting their "respect for India’s democratic institutions," the lawmakers questioned Indian judiciary and asked how Khalid’s continued detention without the commencement of trial aligns with international legal norms.

The lawmakers also lectured Indian judiciary on how judicial proceedings have not yet begun more than five years after the activist's arrest and also pressed New Delhi to ensure that Khalid is afforded due process and that his case is heard in a fair and timely manner.
