Sadiq Khan’s historical win

The mayoral election for London has been both exciting and intriguing. When western world is gripped with the climate of Islamaphobia, one just wonders if it is possible for a Muslim candidate, alleged to have links with extremist to win this major post, Mayor of London! Although, I haven’t voted for Khan, my heartiest congratulation to him. No doubt he will do a wonderful job for Londoners. His win is a big victory for Jeremy Corbyn and Labour. Looking at the overall results, it seems Labour is in the course of revival. No one can deny that Britain is a fair and just democracy, secularist where all have equal opportunities. Let us hope Sadiq Khan can remove tension between Muslims and host community and make us safe and secure.
