Omar Abdullah , former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference vice-president has lashed out at the BCCI for retaining Chinese sponsors for the IPL. He expressed surprise over it in his series of tweets.
BCCI/IPL governing council has decided to retain all sponsors including the big Chinese ones. I feel bad for those idiots who threw their Chinese made TVs off their balconies only to see this happen.

Omar was reacting to the news about the IPL Governing Council’s decision to retain all its sponsors, including Chinese mobile company VIVO, in the event to be held in the United Arab Emirates from September 19 to November 10.
Chinese cellphone makers will continue as title sponsors of the IPL while people are told to boycott Chinese products. It’s no wonder China is thumbing it’s nose at us when we are so confused about how to handle Chinese money/investment/sponsorship/advertising.

In another tweet, he said “we always suspected that we really can’t manage” without the sponsorship and advertising of Chinese companies.
“The sheer suddenness of the move, the unexpected nature of the move, the unpredictability of the move. They don’t know what hit them. Now the Chinese will know………. what we always suspected that we really can’t manage without their sponsorship & advertising.”
