On September 10, as the Mayor of London left City Hall, he faced racist attacks with protestors calling him a “Paki” and that he did not represent Londoners. A crowd then gathered outside Khan’s office chanting “Khan out”, protesting against the mayor’s green plans to make large areas of London car-free. These protestors are reportedly said to be black cab drivers who object to recent London road closures as part of the Mayor’s response to coronavirus.
While Sadiq Khan gave no reaction to the demonstrators, Asian origin personalities have re-tweeted the video stating that they stand in solidarity with the Mayor and Siobhan Benita was one of them. London borough councillor Khayer Chowdhury also reported the clip to the Metropolitan police, called for action.
