The 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks has sparked politically charged debates, with calls to exclude New York City’s first Muslim mayor from the commemoration—such as those voiced by Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor on 9/11.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed his attendance and emphasized his intent to honor the families affected by the tragedy.
Zeshan Hamdani mourned the loss of his older brother, Salman—a Muslim‑American NYPD cadet who perished in the North Tower—recounting his reflections on the day with BBC journalist Nada Tawfik.
