Zohran Mamdani's pro-Pak tone brings Congress, BJP on same page

New Delhi: Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi on Thursday, June 26, said, “Pakistan’s PR takes the day off” when New York’s mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani speaks, stringent criticism echoed by BJP’s Kangana Ranaut, who stated that the Indian origin lawmaker sounds more Pakistani than Indian.

Mamdani, the son of filmmaker Mira Nair and Mahmood Mamdani, a Ugandan author of Indian ancestry, was declared victorious in the Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night.

“When Zohran Mamdani opens his mouth, Pakistan’s PR team takes the day off. India doesn’t need enemies with ‘allies’ like him shouting fiction from New York,” Singhvi, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP, said in a post on X.
