Today in sunny London, Zee TV have been allowed by Boris Johnson to sponsor the Eid Festival in Trafalgar Sqaure.
Can you imagine the reaction if Islam Channel were sponsoring the Jewish New Year celebrations in Trafalgar Square however, many are unaware that Boris Johnson personally decided to reject Islam Channel sponsoring today's Eid Festival. As a result, we have a Bollywood outfit promoting all manner of Music and dance rather than the excellent Islam Channel who have a well established pedigree of promoting superb Muslim events like the GPU.
LM will not be attending today's Eid Festival as I'm at the Peace Conference in Wembley but also because unlike some I'm aware of the political games Boris Johnson along with his Bollywood mates are playing against London Muslims shamefully in association with an "Eid Committee". Yet again, one further reason if it is needed why the entire London Muslim community needs to be mobilising now behind Ken Livingstone's campaign to defeat Boris Johnson and remove the current buffon from being London's Mayor.

Zee TV are sponsoring because even though they are a Hindi majority channel, they still show a lot of the classic Indian films that are watched by Muslim people as well.
ReplyDeleteAs the majority of the Muslim community are from South Asian Background - the clever marketeers at Zee TV are trying to attract the viewers of their competitors by sponsoring Eid so that they can get some of that heavy Ramadan advertising revenues which are currently going to the likes of Channel S, Prime and co.
