Hawzah News Agency - (Glasgow - Scotland) - Junaid Ashraf is amongst the three figures featured in Young, Asian And Scots, which screens at 10pm on Tuesday night and explores Asian Scottish identity.

Ashraf, an SNP councillor for Cumbernauld South, believes its vital viewing and tackles topics which have become more urgent since the Thursday night reelection of Boris Johnson.

The 23-year-old was part of the successful reelection campaign for Stuart McDonald in Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East.

But Johnson’s victory has soured that win and left him feeling “ashamed” about UK politics.

That’s because of Johnson’s conduct towards Muslims, as well as other marginalised groups. Johnson used the terms “bank robber” and “letterbox” to refer to Muslim women who wear the niqab face covering.

  Last month he backtracked on a pledge to hold an inquiry into Islamophobia within the Conservative party – something the Muslim Council of Scotland has said is a “deep problem”.
