New York

On 5th October 2025, Mamdani visited two of the oldest Hindu temples in New York’s Flushing, the Sri Maha Vallabha Ganapathy Temple and the Hindu Temple Society of North America. Visuals of him receiving a warm welcome at the temple wearing garland and scarf surfaced online. The people around him were seen holding placards reading “Hindus for Zohran for New York City”.

In a letter dated August 26, addressed to Dr. S. Jaishankar, the signatories urged India to take a firm stand against what they described as Mamdani’s “Hinduphobic lies” and defamatory remarks about PM Modi and India.

"No. As Mayor, New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. This is a city where our values align with international law. It's time that our actions are also," Zohran Mamdani brazened out.

Unsurprisingly, while Zohran Mamdani is projecting himself as a 'progressive' Muslim leader, he is taking support from anti-semitic entities like CAIR, suggests that beyond the façade of a 'progressive' and 'moderate' Muslim candidate fighting for social justice and cutting costs, Mamdani is anti-India, anti-Hindu and anti-Israel Islamist.

Pakistani national Muhammad Shahzeb Khan residing in Canada started communicating with others on an encrypted messaging application about his support for ISIS, including by distributing ISIS propaganda videos and literature in 2023.

The remarks have sparked outrage among Indo-American leaders and community representatives as they accused Mamdani of promoting hate and deepening religious divides.

“It was not someone blowing people up indiscriminately — it was a group identifying people by their religion and killing them,” Shashi Tharoor pointed out.

The flight, AI119, was on its way to New York (JFK) when a potential security threat was discovered mid-flight. Following the necessary safety protocols, the plane returned and safely landed in Mumbai at 10:25 AM local time.
