Rotherham Elects British-Pakistani Mayor even as Grooming gangs scandal still haunts town

Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor.

Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online.

Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure.

Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes.

The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate.
