据印度报业托拉斯报道，纽约市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼在与印度教侨民共同庆祝九夜节和杜尔杂女神节后，呼吁各社群团结一致抵御仇恨、守望相助。此前几天，当局挫败了一起针对伊利诺伊州一座寺庙的谋划中的大规模枪击阴谋。
Zohran Mamdani joined Hindu New Yorkers for Navratri and Durga Puja celebrations. His appeal for solidarity followed an alleged mass shooting plot at an Illinois temple. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged communities to stand against hate and care for one another after joining members of the Hindu diaspora for Navratri and Durga Puja celebrations, Press Trust of India reported. His remarks came days after authorities foiled an alleged plot to carry out a mass shooting at a temple in Illinois.
社交媒体上分享的视频显示，马姆达尼与印度侨民一同参加了格尔巴舞，并参与了纽约市各地寺庙的祈祷和其他节日仪式。
Videos shared on social media showed Mamdani taking part in garba with members of the Indian diaspora and joining prayers and other festive rituals at temples across New York City.
马姆达尼周三在社交媒体上发文称：“本周我有幸加入皇后区的印度教纽约人行列，共同庆祝九夜节、杜尔杂女神节、达香节和十胜节。”
“This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami,” Mamdani said in a social media post on Wednesday.
他说：“我们跳了格尔巴舞、举行了礼拜仪式、见证了涂朱仪式，并向杜尔杂女神致敬。能够在我们城市的各个寺庙里满怀喜悦、信仰和社群凝聚力地聚在一起，是一种荣幸——特别是上周伊利诺伊州印度教寺庙遭遇未遂大规模枪击事件之后。”
“We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honoured the Goddess Durga. It was an honour to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week,” he said.
这位市长补充道：“愿我们所有人共同承担起责任，团结起来抵御仇恨、守望相助。伟大的圣母玛塔吉万岁。”
“May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another. Jai Mata Ki,” the mayor added.
据印度报业托拉斯报道，马姆达尼发表上述言论之际，正值各方对美国日益高涨的反印度教仇恨感到担忧，此前一名19岁男子因涉嫌策划袭击伊利诺伊州奥罗拉地区的一处印度教礼拜场所而被捕。
According to Press Trust of India, Mamdani's remarks came amid concerns over rising anti-Hindu hate in the US and after the arrest of a 19-year-old accused of planning an attack on a Hindu place of worship in the Aurora area of Illinois.
来自帕拉丁的亚历山德罗斯·帕波拉基斯在涉嫌于10月11日试图袭击寺庙后被捕。他被控一项制造恐怖威胁罪和一项非法藏有武器罪。
Alexandros Paporakis of Palatine was arrested after allegedly attempting to attack the temple on October 11. He has been charged with one count of making a terrorist threat and one count of unlawful possession of weapons.
当局表示，由于嫌疑人的步枪在寺庙卡壳并迫使其返回家中，这起疑似袭击阴谋被挫败。这起事件受到了美国议员、政治领袖和公民社会组织的谴责，他们纷纷呼吁采取行动，应对该国日益严重的排挤印度教和反印度的仇恨情绪。
Authorities said the alleged attack was foiled after the suspect's rifle jammed at the temple, forcing him to return home. The incident has been condemned by US lawmakers, political leaders and civil society organisations, which have called for action to address rising anti-Hindu and anti-Indian hate in the country.
代表伊利诺伊州的印度裔美国人联邦众议员拉贾·克里希纳穆尔蒂表示，当这名涉嫌意图实施大规模枪击的少年前往该寺庙时，他和家人当时也在奥罗拉的这座寺庙里。
Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who represents Illinois, said he and his family were at the Aurora temple when the teenager arrived, allegedly intending to carry out a mass shooting.
九夜节是一个旨在崇拜杜尔杂女神及其各种化身的印度教节日，通常以祈祷、斋戒和社群庆祝活动为标志。在孟加拉裔印度教徒中尤为突出的杜尔杂女神节则是为了纪念正义战胜邪恶。
Navratri is a Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga and her various forms and is marked by prayers, fasting and community celebrations. Durga Puja, which is particularly prominent among Bengali Hindus, commemorates the victory of good over evil.
马姆达尼参与庆祝活动并呼吁各社群反对仇恨，此前伊利诺伊州发生了疑似寺庙袭击阴谋，这再次引发了人们对解决美国境内反印度教和反印度仇恨的呼吁。
Mamdani's participation in the celebrations and his appeal for communities to oppose hate followed the alleged temple attack plot in Illinois, which has renewed calls to address anti-Hindu and anti-Indian hate in the US.
