Union Minister of Law and Justice Meghwal to visit NLSIU on Wednesday

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal is set to visit the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The visit occurs amid a controversy surrounding the proposed screening of a documentary on activist Umar Khalid at the university. However, neither NLSIU students nor members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) have confirmed any link between the Minister's visit and the controversy.

Students and ABVP members indicate that an event had already been planned, with an invitation extended to Mr. Meghwal prior to the controversy over the documentary screening.
