Zohran Mamdani, back from Uganda, dodges questions after meeting with slain NYPD cop Didarul Islam’s family



Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, fresh from an ill-timed trip to Uganda, dodged questions after meeting with the family of slain NYPD Officer Didarul Islam Wednesday morning.

Mamdani spent an hour in Islam’s family home in the Bronx — two days after the senseless mass shooting that left the 36-year-old married officer dead.

The socialist pol — who, if elected, has vowed to “disband” the elite police unit that responded to the Midtown mayhem on Monday — quickly hopped from an unmarked NYPD SUV with a big bouquet of flowers.

His campaign waved off The Post and other reporters during the visit, which followed the bloodshed by crazed gunman Shane Tamura, who killed the hero cop Islam and three innocent civilians inside a Midtown skyscraper.

“We’re not really going to have a lot of time for many questions,” a Mamdani campaign worker said.

Mamdani hugged Islam’s family members as he left the home – and scowled at a Post photographer as he entered the SUV.

The mayoral frontrunner, who spent the last several days in Uganda celebrating his recent wedding, faced a torrent of criticism for his tardy response to the shooting.

He’s expected to hold a news conference at 2 p.m. addressing the tragedy.
