Special editorial in the New York Weekly - an original and courageous leader
Hakikul Islam Khokon
Johran Mamdani is handsome. His smile is priceless. Maybe he could forget the world with that look and smile. But his wealth is his intellect, his courage and extraordinary eloquence of speech. Say what you say directly. If you want to be a politician or a servant of the people, you have to look and speak like this. He started getting his results on Tuesday nightIn victory and post-victory speeches. This speech differs from the speech Barack Obama gave in Chicago after winning the election in 2008. The difference is that Johran Mamdani's speech exudes great power. Power to turn around. The power to counter an overwhelming force.
Zohran Mamdani suddenly became a symbol of hope for billions of Americans on Tuesday night. Resort
New Jersey is Democratic in the gubernatorial electionFormer President Barack Obama, in a speech last week to candidate Mikey Sherrill's campaign, said a man had gone above the law. Even the leaders in his party's dockside are not speaking out against his brazen behavior. Not even the Supreme Court.
Barack Obama took the oath of office bearing the brunt of America's stock market crash, banking sector chaos and an economy battered by mortgage fraud.He did as president. He boosted the economy of this country very quickly. He stood by the immigrants. Passed the landmark Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Today's situation is more dire. People's lives are on the brink of rising prices of everyday goods, America's glorious education system is being axed, funding allocations to various sectors are being stopped without any justification, Congress is onlyNot kneeling, but being rendered ineffective. In the name of punishing the democratic leaders, the people of the democratically controlled states are being made to suffer. Unreasonable orders are being given by word of mouth, or stroke of pen, to destroy the international trading system. As a result, there has been a severe crisis in import-export. The poor and middle class people are most at risk due to rising commodity prices.
like thisThe situation required such a leader. He who will speak the truth directly, justly and lawfully, will stand against irregularities. Zohran Mamdani is the leader who made his surprise debut on Tuesday night. The law of nature is that the more intense the crisis, the stronger the leader will emerge.
Immigrant communities and lobbyist politicians are trying to both undermine him and get him out of the vote before the election.Called 'Muslim' and socialist. Muslims want to be proud of being 'Muslims'. But these topics never came up in Zohran Mamdani's speech. Rather, he wants to be the mayor of all, regardless of religion and caste, talking about changing the fate of all. He did not belittle any religion, not even any group. They went all over the five boroughs to seek votes.
And those who call themselves socialists belong to a groupThey may not know that Bernie Sanders' progressive socialism is not the communism of the former Soviet Union or China. Political parties in many European countries are called Socialist Democratic Parties or similar. Bernie Sanders' socialist democratic ideas are agendas to change the fortunes of poor people. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is the only one who can do that within a capitalist societyshowed He elected without the help of the corporate sector. Today, grassroots groups in New York and elsewhere in America raise $3 million, while others ask for $3 million.
If you want to do politics, you have to be cultured. Zohran Mamdani's mother is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker, educated at Harvard. And father is a Columbia University professor. He also married an artist. of familyHe was taught to love poor people. (Note, 'Salam Bombay' film by Meera Nair). For that reason, before becoming an assemblyman, he helped protect low-income people from foreclosure.
The biggest thing is that Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City but spread his anger to cities in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe. The whole world is absoluteWatched with interest the courage of a young man, witnessed the triumph of an immigrant young man, listened to the remarkable speech of that young man.
The last word can be said, Zohran Mamdani may be alone today. But the seed of his fight against Asura will spread everywhere. New generations around the world will want to be like this lightly scarred brave young man. This desire will give rise to many leaders in the future, who will open their mouths against injusticedon't hesitate The timid will not tremble in hesitation. In the words of Rabindranath, 'O coward, you have no burden of earth in your hands'.
