Zohran Mamdani News: Indian -origin Johran Mamdani, who won the Democratic Primary for the post of Mayor of New York City, is in the news due to his sharp comments and controversial statements. 33 -year -old Mamdani is the son of famous filmmaker Meera Nair and Gujarati -origin Ugandai scholar Mahmood Mamdani. Mamdani has used the objectionable words of Prime Minister Narendra Modi many times. He has led the demonstration at Times Square to protest against the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Due to this, there is deep anger in the Indian-American community. Not only this, his statements have shaken the politics of New York. Local Hindu and Jewish communities have strongly protested against them. He does not take care of spewing a place against the Jewish community.
Demonstration against Bhoomi Pujan of Ram temple
In 2020, Mammadani led a demonstration at Times Square against the Bhoomi Pujan of the Ram temple, where the mob used extremely derogatory words against Hindus. Mamdani said that he is against the demolition of the BJP government and Babri Masjid in India. This demonstration was organized by Khalistani elements and Mamdani kept silence on derogatory slogans. It was seen as a support for anti-Hindu spirit.
The anti-Israeli attitude of Mamdani has also raised controversy. He defended the Globalize the Intipada slogan, which was considered anti-Jewish by many Jewish organizations. New York’s Jewish Democrat Dan Goldman said that Mamdani does not deny this slogan, makes them unqualified to lead a city with 1.3 million Jews. Mamdani also refused to sign the resolution condemning Holocost.
Progressive policies of Johran Mamdani
Proposal to increase the Progressive policies of Johran Mamdani such as free buses, rent control and minimum wages to $ 30, are popular among young and immigrant voters. He has raised an amount of $ 7 million from over 16,000 donors. However, the New York Times questioned his inexperience and described him as ‘unqualified for the mayor’. Despite this, Mammadani defeated former Governor Andrew Cumo in Democratic Primary and will now contest against the current Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliva in November.
Mamdani supporters such as Senator Berney Sanders and MP Alexandria Okasio-Cortage consider their policies as ‘revolutionary’ for New York. But his controversial statements have created deep displeasure in Indian-American and Jewish communities, which has increased tension in the politics of New York.
