Recent revelations have raised concerns regarding Hanadi Nadeem, Democratic candidate for Nevada Assembly District 34, as her past personal and professional associations are coming to light.
Social media posts uncovered in recent weeks show Nadeem expressing admiration for former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, a figure with known ties to Taliban sympathies. During Khan’s tenure, he made headlines for publicly encouraging global support for the Taliban following their violent takeover of Afghanistan.
His statements, which included remarks that the Taliban had “broken the shackles of slavery” from Western powers, came after the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, during which 13 American service members died. Since the Taliban regained control, they have imposed oppressive laws targeting women despite earlier promises to international organizations to protect women’s rights.
The revelations have sparked a fresh wave of criticism for Nadeem, who once served as president of the APPNA (Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America) Alliance. The group is associated with former Pakistani Ambassador Masood Khan, a controversial figure with alleged ties to extremist groups. U.S. lawmakers accused Mamood of being a “bona fide terrorist sympathizer” after advocating for the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, also known as “Lady Al-Qaeda.”
Critics question Nadeem’s role within the APPNA Alliance and her potential alignment with the controversial views of figures like Masood Khan and Imran Khan. She faces businessman Brandon Davis, a Republican candidate endorsed by Governor Joe Lombardo and Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony.
