Ad against Coke, Pepsi

By Shujaat Bukhari

SRINAGAR JULY 7. "Do not drink Pepsi or Coca Cola as you would be unwittingly supporting Israel in its anti-Muslim actions the world over,'' says a front page advertisement in a local Urdu daily Srinagar Mail, today.

The advertisement by an unknown outfit, Muslim Mahaz, asks Muslims not to buy Coca Cola or Pepsi stating that a portion of the money earned through their sale went to Israel for sustaining its "anti-Muslim campaign"."Do you know that by drinking Coca Cola and Pepsi, you unwittingly join the anti-Muslim actions because the companies donate a portion of their profit into the Jewish mission and Israel,'' says the advertisement. The advertisement has sent panic waves in the trade. The Muslim Mahaz, however, has not asked the traders to stop selling the products so far.
