London: London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Sunday slammed US President Donald Trump for banning citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries as “shameful and cruel”, the media reported.
Pakistani-origin Khan issued a statement responding to Trump’s executive order and said the policy “flies in the face of the values of freedom and tolerance”, the Independent daily reported.
The order bans immigration from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen for 120 days under measures to “keep radical Islamic terrorists out”. It has received wide condemnation from the international community and some have questioned its legality.–IANS
