Will Pakistanis celebrating Sadiq Khan vote for a non-Muslim mayor?
[DAWN] Sadiq Khan’s election as Mayor of London has sent Paks into a celebratory mode but amidst the bonhomie, some questions have emerged.Many on social media have pointed out the rarity of such an event happening here in Pakistain, causing seemingly-emancipated people to go a delicate shade of mottled purple; the contention being that people from humble backgrounds are also making it big in politics in the motherland so there is nothing special about London voting in a Muslim Mayor. People here who have come from similar working class origins and reached the pinnacle of political success have usually left a corruption-ridden trail. Posted by: Fred 2016-05-12 |
