New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani has come under political fire after reports surfaced alleging that a Pakistan-based PR campaign was promoting his candidacy. Leaders from both India’s BJP and Congress parties criticized Mamdani, accusing him of indirectly benefiting from propaganda allegedly linked to Pakistan’s ISPR. Mamdani, a sitting New York State Assembly member, has denied any involvement with foreign campaigns. The controversy has sparked debate on diaspora politics and foreign interference. While the BJP condemned the promotion of "anti-India narratives," Congress leaders voiced similar concerns, marking a rare alignment between the rival parties on an international issue. (PC: PTI)
