Srinagar, November 5, 2025 : National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday congratulated Zohran Mamdani on his historic victory in the New York City mayoral election, calling it a symbol of hope and unity.
In a statement, Abdullah lauded Mamdani’s campaign for embodying inclusivity and compassion amid global polarization.
“Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory is not merely a personal milestone but a clarion call for collective progress,” Abdullah said.
“His election sends a message of unity and compassion — a reminder that when we reject hate and embrace humanity, we build bridges that endure,” he added.
Mamdani, a 34-year-old Indian-origin democratic socialist, scripted history by becoming the first South Asian, youngest, and Muslim mayor of New York City, following a high-voltage and grassroots-driven campaign.
