NYC Mayor Mamdani opposes RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s Madison Square event
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's planned speech at Madison Square Garden. Mamdani does not believe the city has jurisdiction to cancel the private event scheduled for August 29. The event is part of the RSS's centenary-year global outreach program and will see Bhagwat address around 5,000 people at the iconic MSG.
Mamdani, the city's first Indian-American mayor, expressed deep opposition to the event, citing concerns about its exclusionary vision and emphasizing his belief in a pluralistic, secular society. Several interfaith and civil rights organizations have also voiced their opposition to Bhagwat's appearance at Madison Square Garden, urging the venue to cancel the event.
