Cameron plays dirty with slurs against Khan
PM in ‘racist’ row over hopeful’s link to imam
DAVID CAMERON was accused yesterday of demeaning the office of prime minister by making “racist” slurs against Labour London mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan.
Tory mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith has sought to smear his Muslim rival as an extremist sympathiser in a desperate bid to overturn a 10-point poll deficit.
And the PM did his bit for the “dog-whistle” campaign at his weekly parliamentary head-to-head with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, watched by more than a million people every week.
Responding to a set-up question from a Tory backbencher, Mr Cameron said he was “concerned” that Mr Khan (pictured) had appeared on a platform with Suliman Gani, the imam at the Tooting Islamic Centre, nine times.
