    ‘End The Hate’: London Mayor Sadiq Khan Appeals After Reading Islamophobic Hate Tweets

    Darpan News Desk IANS, 16 Mar, 2018 07:40 PM

      Recently, London's Mayor Sadiq Khan read out the hate tweets he gets. While one said, "Sadiq Khan looks like a sparrow," it quickly escalated to tweets like, "I say kill the Mayor of London, and you will get rid of one Muslim terrorist."

       

      Without commenting on each one of them separately, Khan said that he is not trying to portray himself as a victim, and added, “I worry about what happens when young girls and boys from minority background see this kind of thing on their social media timelines or experience it themselves.”

       

      And finally, he entreated everybody to end such hatred. “It’s time to act on hate speech. Watch, retweet and help #endthehate,” he wrote.
