		</div><p>Saffiyah Khan, the woman whose photo went viral after she came face to face with the EDL leader in Birmingham, joined British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn at a rally in the city,</p>
<p>The Labour leader stood in front of a crowd of around 6,000 at a celebrity-endorsed event which included the likes of music group Clean Bandit and comedian Steve Coogan.</p>
<p>Khan took to the stage at the rally, where she spoke about the Labour Party’s tax pledge.</p>
<p>She said: <i>“I reject the idea that we should set one generation against the other. We don’t need to have grandparents and grandchildren competing against each other for resources. It just shouldn’t happen.</p>
<p>“Instead of pensioners paying more, Labour is making the big corporations and the very richest pay their fair share.”</i></p>

<p>Khan became a symbol of resistance when photos of her confronting Ian Crossland with a smile on her face as he pointed a finger at her at an EDL rally in April, in the wake of the Westminster attacks, went viral.</p>
<p>Khan, who is from Birmingham and has family links to both Bosnia and Pakistan, had said: <i>“I kept myself out of the way but sadly it did kick off between the EDL and a lady in a headscarf.</p>
<p>“She was quite a small woman. When I realised that nothing was being done and she was being surrounded 360 – that’s when I came in as well.”</i></p>
