The 'local' 'East London Advertiser' [ELA] [based in the inner city East London borough of Tower Hamlets, UK] failed to carry accurate and timely news about the campaign for a 'no' vote at the 6 May 2010 local referendum held about the future constitution of Tower Hamlets, London council. The ELA casually and tokenistically carried an item including the group picture of ex-mayors, shown to be opposing the change of the council into one where an elected mayor had the key powers. The BHANGEELAAR! Campaign is about to lodge complaints against the ela and other locally circulating 'media' over their bias for one side of the argument. The Bhangeelaar! Campaign is also lodging complaints against a satellite TV station that is supposedly aimed at the UK Bangladeshi community. Updates on those complaints and other actions by the Bhangeelaar! Campaign will be posted here in due course. AADHIKARonline publishes the following blog carrying late breaking stories on the campaign for a democratic Tower Hamlets Council:
