MP Priti Patel, pictured, called for Salar to be sacked in a letter, saying: ‘Why not dismiss him immediately?’
He posted on May 23, 2013 – a day after the killing of the off-duty soldier by two Islamic extremists – a link to a YouTube video and the comment: “I had a feeling the Woolwich killing was probably fake”.
One tweet from May 2012 read: “Currently hating on all you faggots who have finished uni”. Also later, he tweet in June 2012 that “f*** all you hoes” while a message from April 2012 suggested that the way to “treat a lady” was to “buy her a nice iron and extend the kitchen for her ” .
“We are very angry that Sadiq Khan hasn’t said he’d stop the regeneration or demolition of housing estates in Labour boroughs”.
However, Tory politicians expressed incredulity at Mr Khan’s failure to vet an employee with such vile opinions.
He added: “I represent him at events/ meetings and occasionally deal with constituency casework”.
“They raise serious questions about the judgement of Sadiq Khan who chose to employ this man despite his views being public, on a Twitter account followed by Khan himself”.
Despite the suspension, the leader of the Commons, Chris Grayling, has claimed the incident reflects badly on Mr Khan.
The spokesman said the shooting weekend was bought by Mr Salar and a group of friends from Groupon, the discount offers website.
