Salute to Trump, salute to Mamdani too

 


 

 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I am neither American nor have I ever been to New York. So what does Zahran Mamdani do for the underprivileged sections of America's largest city or not, what does it have to do with me? But what can I do when I am also the most free Abdullah who cannot miss an opportunity to go crazy in every foreign marriage.

Everyone is calling this 34-year-old young man 'their own munda' by looking at him through their own eyes, and those who are not paying attention to Mamdani have also lost their understanding.

According to his rivals, Mamdani is both a communist and a jihadist. It is not far from such intelligent opponents that they would eat ice cream in anger while staring at it.

It is also a riddle that Mamdani is also being called an enemy of Israel, despite being a supporter of the Palestinians, but 30 percent of the Jewish vote in New York has also been shaken.

An old friend of Jamaat-e-Islami is so happy that he is calling the victory of socialist liberal secular democrat Mamdani the fulfillment of Syed Abul-Ala Maududi’s prediction that ‘a time will come when communism will not find shelter in Moscow and the capitalist system will be anxious to save itself in Washington and New York.’

Some Ismaili friends are satisfied with this home-made claim that Mamdani may call himself a Twelver Shia, but he is still an Ismaili, right?

A Shia friend was so happy that he used AI to remove the torch from the hand of the Statue of Liberty in New York and hand it over to Zulfiqar (the sacred sword of Hazrat Ali) on his social media page.

This reminded me of a poster from the first general elections in 1970, which showed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, wearing a Jinnah cap, wearing a suit and boots, riding a horse with sparks flying from its hooves, holding Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in one hand and a white flag with the words ‘Nasr min Allah wa Fatah qarib’ written in bold letters in the other.



55 years ago, those who were challenging Bhutto's Islam without being influenced by such jihadist posters are today the ideological heirs of the same people who are praising Zahran Mamdani's left-wing thinking like Bhutto.

Some old-timers of today's PPP are also getting confused by imagining that Mamdani, like the pride of Asia, talked about bread, clothes, and housing in one of his speeches. Zardari may have forgotten, but Mamdani is alive across seven oceans, Bhutto is alive.

And the American and Indian devotees and servants who cannot digest even half of Mamdani's Islam are not even able to openly speak ill of him out of respect for Mamdani's famous film-maker Hindu mother.

Mamdani's father is a Muslim as well as a Gujarati, so it is not easy to insult him. After all, Modi ji is also a Gujarati. What else can you say?                       

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is happy to think that Mamdani is planning to copy the miracle he performed in Delhi a few years ago in New York today (free transport, electricity, water, affordable education and healthcare, etc.).

Some Congressmen have come up with this idea that what is new in what Mamdani is preaching today. Even socialist Pandit Nehru was saying the same thing three-quarters of a century ago.

However, like Barack Obama's Kenyan connection, black voters in New York are convinced of Mamdani's Africanness because Mamdani was born in Kampala and spent his childhood in Cape Town before coming to New York. There is only one Donald Trump who, like Obama, does not understand what planet Mamdani is from and in which box he should be fitted?



In our country, the media has been so focused on Mamdani that there has been very little talk about Ghazala Hashmi, the Democratic candidate who snatched the lieutenant governorship of Virginia, the traditional stronghold of the Republican Party. Although she is the first woman of Virginia and the first Muslim Hyderabadi of Indian origin.

The attitude of the pro-BJP media is also a bit of a slouch about Ghazala Hashmi's historic victory.

Except for those from Andhra and Telangana, other Indian Muslims are not able to express their happiness openly, while the Pakistani media is probably not able to celebrate Ghazala Hashmi like Mamdani because there has been an armed conflict with India recently. Who knows what the higher-ups think?

Therefore, balanced media coverage requires that the pro-Pakistan Trump should also be appreciated and Zahran Mamdani's public friendship should also be saluted. How much respect both gentlemen have for each other is their own matter.

You may remember that when Sadiq Khan first became the mayor of London, the atmosphere was more joyful than today. One was a Muslim of Pakistani origin from above, and that too from London.

But there are some people everywhere who are neither happy themselves nor can they see anyone else. They find peace only by adding marriages to the milk of happiness.

Now, it is also a matter of asking, if Zahran Mamdani had contested the elections in Pakistan on an anti-establishment manifesto, what are the chances of his official declaration of victory by the Election Commission? Even if he had won, how long would he have stood on his feet? If he had lost, where would he have been placed, etc.

Whatever anyone says, it has been proven that we are open-hearted people. Whatever Zahran Mamdani's ethnic, ideological and religious affiliations may be, we consider him our own. Provided that there were no Nobel Prize-winning Dr. Abdus Salam or Oscar-winning American actor Mahershala Ali. God willing, if this were the case, the virtues of Zahran Mamdani would have been described in such detail.



That is, Abdullah is certainly crazy, but it is not the case that we jump into every foreign marriage without looking at the pros and cons.
