Brother of Muslim Policeman Killed in 9/11 ‘Disappointed’ by Calls for Mamdani to Sit Out Memorial

BBC News reports on the controversial calls for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s first Muslim mayor, to skip the 25th anniversary memorial of the September 11th attacks. Rudy Giuliani, the city’s mayor on that fateful day, is among those making these requests.

Zeshan Hamdani, the brother of a Muslim American New York police cadet killed in the attack, spoke to the BBC’s Nada Tawfik about his thoughts on this sensitive anniversary.
