Following the historic election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s first Muslim Mayor, an old video featuring his staunch criticism of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has gone viral on social media. The video delivers an unmistakable message to those circles who were celebrating the victory of the Indian-origin Mayor.
The viral footage, captured during his election campaign, shows Mamdani responding to a journalist’s question by explicitly stating: “I cannot attend any event to express good relations with Narendra Modi.”
Mamdani further elaborated on his background and the source of his conviction, saying: “My father’s family is from the Indian state of Gujarat. My father is from a Muslim family, and I am a Muslim myself.”
He escalated his criticism by equating Modi with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mamdani asserted:
“Narendra Modi carried out the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat, so we should view him the same way we view Netanyahu. He too is a ‘war criminal.’“
While some segments in India were expressing happiness over the election of the first Indian-origin Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has made it clear through his vocal stance that he will not align himself with rulers who persecute Muslims or any other group, regardless of the region.
