During his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday, Trump made a significant statement about Sadiq Khan. Trump said that Sadiq Khan wants to implement Sharia law in the British capital, London. He said, "London has a very strange mayor. When I look at London today, I see that this city has completely changed. Now he wants to implement Sharia law there, but you should remember that you are in another country (Britain), and you cannot do that here." Trump Receives Response Controversy has escalated following US President Donald Trump's statement. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has also responded. The mayor's spokesperson has described Trump's statements as hateful and discriminatory. According to the British newspaper The Independent, the spokesperson said, "London is the greatest city in the world, safer than even the biggest cities in America." We are delighted that a record number of American citizens are settling here. What did the Labour Party MP say? Britain's ruling Labour Party has also defended the London Mayor. Labour MP Wes Strutting wrote on the social media platform X, "Sadiq Khan is not trying to impose Sharia law in London. He is a mayor who participates in Pride marches, supports diversity, and focuses on improving London's transport, air quality, roads, safety, and opportunities." Muslim Council of Britain also reacted The Muslim Council of Britain also reacted sharply to Trump's statement. The council sarcastically said that they were praying for Trump's "health and well-being" as his "delusional state" was getting worse day by day. Trump had called him a bad mayor Meanwhile, during his recent visit to Britain, Trump revealed that he had requested not to invite Khan to the royal banquet at Windsor Castle. Trump had said, "I didn't want him there, so I requested that he not be invited." Trump had called Khan one of the worst mayors in the world. What is Sharia law? Sharia is an Arabic word. It literally means the right path. Its rules and principles are derived from the Quran, which is believed to contain the direct words of Allah. Furthermore, rules are derived from the Hadith, which contain the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. Sharia law dictates how Muslims should conduct themselves in their lives, including social and business matters. The legal aspect of Sharia is based on the interpretations of Islamic scholars.
