Zohran Mamdani's Note To Umar Khalid Sparks Storm
Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, has written a letter to former Jawaharlal Nehru University student and activist Umar Khalid, who has been lodged in jail for nearly five years in connection with the Feb 2020 Delhi riots, according to Khalid's family members.
The undated letter was shared by Khalid's partner, Banojyotsna Lahiri, after Indian-origin Mandai was sworn in as the Muslim and Asian-origin mayor of America's largest city. The 34-year-old is also one of the youngest to hold the office.
