Would encourage King Charles to return Koh-i-Noor Diamond’: Zohran Mamdani on British ⁠monarch’s New York visit

New York, 30/4: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Wednesday that he would encourage Britain’s King Charles to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond, making the remarks during the monarch’s ongoing visit to the United States.

If I were to speak to the ⁠king separately from that, I would probably encourage ‌him to return ​the Koh-i-Noor Diamond,” Mamdani, who is Indian American, said when asked at a press conference hours before a ceremony that commemorated victims of the deadly September 11, 2001, attacks. Later in the ​day, the king ⁠spoke with Mamdani at the ceremony. It is not known whether he brought up the issue.
