Mamdani says if he speaks to King Charles, he'd tell him to return controversial gem to India

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated he would urge King Charles to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond to India during a 9/11 memorial event. The 105.6-carat diamond, part of Britain’s Crown Jewels, has a controversial history tied to colonial-era annexation of Punjab in 1849 and is claimed by India, Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan.
