London Mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith has offended some of the minority Londoners during his campaign, who have accused him of 'patronising' and 'scaremongering', after suggesting only he could protect their family heirlooms.
In an effort to grab an edge over Khan, Goldsmith's team has been using a leaflet with an image of him shaking hands with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his November visit. This has been backed up by a personalised letter from the Prime Minister David Cameron, asking Indians to vote Goldsmith.
Indians especially the ones who are not a big fan of Modi have already shown their disappointment with the leaflet, while the British Tamils living around London, especially in Newham received a letter suggesting a vote for the Labour candidate could lead to a new "wealth tax on family jewellery."
"As a government minister, Sadiq Khan did not use his position to speak about Sri Lanka or the concerns of the Tamil community in parliament. His party are beginning to adopt policies that will mean higher taxes on your family and your family's heirlooms and belongings," Goldsmith writes.

The letter also suggests that only Goldsmith can protect their heirlooms from burglars.
"The first job of the Mayor of London is to protect Londoners. I recognise that far too often, Tamil households are targeted for burglary due to families owning gold and valuable family heirlooms…
"As Mayor I will stand up to focus the Metropolitan Police on this issue and will fight to keep you, your family and your homes secure.
The other side of the leaflet compares the Conservative candidate's record in relation to Tamils with Khan's.
"Sadiq Khan supported Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour party who wanted to ban prime minister Modi from visiting the UK," it claims.
It further adds that "Khan did not attend the 'UK Welcomes Modi'" event at Wembley Stadium last year.
The Daily Sikh described the leaflets as "ill-informed and arrogant" and "disastrous".
Meanwhile Labour accused Goldsmith of "patronising" ethnic minority voters in London.
