Imran Khans party in Pakistan loses its cricket bat electoral symbol

The Imran Khan-led PTI Takes Away "Cricket Bat" Symbol When SC Says Internal Polls Are "Null and Void"The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) intra-party elections were declared unlawful by the Supreme Court of Pakistan late on Saturday night, according to PTI. It ended the contentious discussion over the selection of the famous electoral symbol by stripping the party of the "bat" as an election symbol. The verdict of a two-member bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Wednesday, which confirmed the PTI party's elections and reinstated the cricket bat as its electoral symbol, was challenged by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).A three-judge panel made up of Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, and Justice Musarrat Hilali heard the ECP's petition and then reserved their decision, which was made public late on Saturday night.In a ruling that was read aloud by the chief justice, the highest court declared that it would "set aside the PHC judgement and restore the ECP judgement," which had declared the PTI's intra-party elections null and void and removed the party's 'bat' insignia. The controversy around the election symbol started on December 22, when the ECP rejected surveys conducted within the party, depriving the party of its electoral emblem for the February 8 election.The Peshawar High Court, which received a petition from the party, suspended the ECP ruling on December 26 with an interim order.On January 3, the high court overturned the order when the election administration challenged the verdict. The PHC further declared that a two-judge bench will hear arguments over the PTI bat emblem. The ECP challenged the tribunal's ruling before the Supreme Court, but the two-member panel decided to reinstate the "bat" as a PTI insignia.The PTI has traditionally used a bat as its insignia, and it is said that stripping the party of this iconic image would require its candidates to run on different signs, which would confuse party members in rural areas on election day.In addition, the PTI would not be able to claim reserved seats in the national and provincial legislatures, which are split into parties according to the proportion of seats won in elections, if they did not have a single emblem. Barrister Khan has expressed concern that the PTI would suffer a significant loss if these seats in the national and provincial assemblies were lost in the absence of a party insignia. PTI's Ali Zafar responded to the Supreme Court's ruling by saying that, although history will decide the outcome, the PTI candidate would have to run without a common symbol right away."The symbol has been removed by the court, but the party remains a registered entity." All of our candidates would run as independents in accordance with our policy, he was cited by PTI in its story. PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Khan claimed that the political rights of the PTI and its supporters had been violated and expressed shock at the decision.

Elections and a more optimistic outlook will result in a successful year for advertising.

Inflation, advertising, AI, and elections will all be significant in 2024. During The Year Ahead 2024, which was held in London last week, Ian Whittaker, media analyst and founder of Liberty Sky Advisors, and Kelly Beaver, CEO of Ipsos UK and Ireland, discussed a number of these trends.wholesome marketing Speaking to delegates who were invited only to the Waldorf Hilton, Whittaker declared that 2024 would be "relatively benign" and that 2023 had been "generally better than expected. " As per Whittaker, the stock markets and tech companies' reduction in adspend was likely influenced by the rising interest rates in the past few years."We are probably going to be in an environment of historically low interest rates, but not where we were with the same level of cheap money," he said, adding that the days of interest rates close to 0% "are gone."Although "stickier than we thought," inflation over the previous 18 months had nevertheless enabled businesses to quickly implement price increases equivalent to nearly a decade's worth, and this trend is expected to continue. He did predict that advertising would "be healthy this year" and that adspend would "continue to come through" provided corporate profitability held steady.More precisely, Whittaker predicted that the subscription VOD market would be "flatlining" in all major markets because it was "hard to see further penetration" and that the tech giants, which he dubbed "the Magnificent Seven" and included Meta and Google, would not have quite as good a year in 2024.Conversely, he anticipated strong performance from retail and broadcast media. Whittaker concluded, saying, "I believe that 2024 will be a good year overall. It will be fairly harmless, and the advertising space will perform admirably.

To promote transparency and exchange brand experts, the CCPA guidelines

vignesh Shivan, the spouse of Tamil filmmaker and actress Nayanthara, has released the first review of Merry Christmas, escalating anticipation for the movie.The rules will cover all forms of advertising, regardless of form, format, or medium, and will be applicable to all coaching centers, both physical and online.Thirteen coaching institutes received notices from the body for their deceptive advertisements, and nine of them were penalized.The guidelines, according to Nisha Sampath, founder of Bright Angles Consulting, encourage responsible brand building, which will ultimately help the sector."Coaching institutes hold great power and influence and operate as a parallel economy within the education sector. This industry speaks with parents and students who are lower on the social scale but still want to move up the ladder more and more. Additionally, they are becoming more prevalent in smaller towns. Therefore, it's critical that these new customers are not duped, she continued.However, how will these guidelines benefit both consumers and the education sector? "These guidelines will help reduce the miscommunication of schemes and false claims by defaulters," says Amit Relan, co-founder and CEO of mFilterIt. In order to safeguard their brand integrity and prioritize authenticity, advertisers will need to prioritize transparency and accuracy, which will promote an equitable educational environment.He goes on to say that when advertising their coaching institutes, advertisers should be open and honest about their intentions. The strict guidelines will require coaching centers to verify their claims, reveal student outcomes, and refrain from using misleading practices.As a remedy, Goyal believes that since they bear equal responsibility, advertising agencies ought to conduct due diligence before taking on a client. "There is no place for morally or ethically sound guidelines when everything is business." The industry associations only publicly identify and shame defaulters on their website, which is essentially of no consequence. To shout that the advertisement was deceptive, they had to print and announce it in bold in the newspaper, he added.  

Maxkleens Sankranti advertisement expresses gratitude to housekeepers

When a joyful and celebratory season approaches, we frequently want to make the most of the occasion by keeping our homes tidy and prepared for the holidays. Every holiday season, our house helpers—the everyday heroes who keep so many houses tidy and lovely—scrub, dust, and disinfect our homes down to the last detail. Maxkleen Safai has created a campaign in honor of these unsung heroes to show appreciation for them throughout this holiday season.A promotion by Wipro Consumer Care's floor cleaning products Maxkleen was launched in Hyderabad with the goal of giving everyday house helpers' homes a thorough cleaning in preparation for Sankranti, the festival of lights. Sankranti, also known as Makara Sankranti in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, is a national holiday celebrated by making elaborate sweets, deep cleaning, and home décor. It is also known as the festival of harvest. People set bonfires with unwanted and old objects during this time, signifying the letting go of the old to make room for the new.Maxkleen collaborated on the "Safai campaign" with a cleaning services team and the non-governmental organization Ashray Akruti, which aims to better the lives of underprivileged groups in society and those with disabilities. With the assistance of Maxkleen and the cleaning services team, Ashray Akruti reached out to the house helpers, determined what cleaning needs they had, and used the ground-breaking Maxkleen product to leave their houses smelling wonderful and with large smiles on their faces. As they stepped into their clean, fresh, and aromatic houses, we observed their faces filled with tears, excitement, and deep appreciation. With the recent debut of its ground-breaking product, Maxkleen Power Squeeze, the company started the "Safai campaign."With Maxkleen Power Squeeze, an industry first, "one squeeze" of the product—also known as "one pichuk"—is sufficient to clean a floor with one bucket of water.For our "everyday heroes," this project offered a joyful fresh start, enabling them to celebrate Sankranti with their loved ones. "We wanted to create a positive impact in the lives of these 'unsung heroes' who not only make our lives more comfortable but whose contributions are often overlooked," said Ushasis Saha, GM of Business Development at Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting. We wanted to spread the same happiness that they do every day to their families on Sankranti by making this modest gift. Maxkleen Power Squeeze's unique "pichuk" design makes floor cleaning simple, inexpensive, and convenient. This made it possible for us to swiftly and conveniently clean a number of houses, leaving a trail of smiles and fragrant, shining floors in our wake.

Vibrants Comedy festival Full Golmal is presented by Bangla Cinema.

December brought the year to a glittering close with Christmas and New Year celebrations. Seasonal advertisements were also a result of the celebrations. Between December 16 and December 31, there were a few thoughtful commercials from brands that made us feel festive and cheery. These five advertisements feature five distinct brands that stand out from the crowd. The sequence in which they have been listed is alphabetical.A whole generation's worth of Bollywood nostalgia was stoked by Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan's references to two of their classic films, Baazigar and Don for Everest Pav Bhaji Masala. R. Balki directed the movie. The company capitalized on the equation that the two shared by bringing together two of Bollywood's most recognisable actors. The humorous ad highlights their sassy conversation.The underlying message of the redBus Christmas advertisement is that Christmas is for everyone. Homecoming is a yearly project by redBus as part of #EveryonesChristmas. It depicts a grandfather demonstrating to his melancholy granddaughter how Christmas unites India's diverse ethnicities.Swiggy's Christmas commercial was a fantastic parody of The Office. Santa Claus gives a brief introduction to "The art of delivery joy" to the wide-eyed Swiggy staff, who both confuse and amuse him. We laughed a little at the advertisement's playful allusion to Zomato, Swiggy's main rival.Kennedy & Wieden India made us smile with this brilliant commercial for the brand Whistle, which is for cosmetic dentistry. The concept originated from the observation that people who are self-conscious about their teeth find it difficult to engage in conversation. The main character is a young man who, fearing that someone would notice his teeth, tries to avoid conversing in public at all costs. One intriguing detail of the advertisement is that the "Morchang," a little instrument that is ironically played with teeth, was used to produce the background tune.The Zomato Christmas advertisement made me feel warm and fuzzy. The commercial pays tribute to the company's delivery executives, who are resolved not to allow a belated Santa Claus ruin the holiday spirit.  

Zomato releases touching commercials in honor of Indias harvest festival.

Zomato, an Indian food ordering and delivery company, has released a series of advertisement films honoring Pongal, Sankranti, Makar Sankranti/Uttarayana, and Lohri, paying homage to the diverse fabric of India's harvest festivals. Zomato's most recent advertisements aptly capture the essence of festivals, which herald a bountiful harvest and the beginning of good times.Zomato's commercial films encapsulate the essence of these harvest celebrations by highlighting the value of customs, ties to family, and the changing face of culture. In addition to highlighting the relationship between a grandma and her teenage granddaughter who returns home to celebrate Pongal with her family, the commercial masterfully captures the love and bond shared between the generations.Their endearing bond is depicted in the movie with a peculiar twist—they push each other to do new things. Perhaps for the first time, the granddaughter enjoys a traditional Pongal dish and other festival customs, while her grandma also welcomes the unfamiliar. She tries a few Gen-Z fads taught by her granddaughter, finally enjoying a bite of a food she hasn't tried at the end. The film gently emphasizes how technology blends in with long-standing customs. The grandma finds a variety of Pongal meals on Zomato and learns about the platform's importance in bridging generations and conserving culture.In a different story, Zomato's Lohri film depicts the festive celebration of the festival in a Punjabi home, which is especially meaningful because they are welcoming a new family member. The story centers on a 7-year-old child who naively records the holiday preparations in the family. When he finds his younger brother Tingu beside a Zomato delivery partner who has brought unique Lohri treats to the home, his excitement levels rise. As Tingu, the family's pet dog, celebrates his first Lohri in the home, the plot surprise is revealed.

According to him, there were "multiple delays" on flight 6E2175, which was supposed to take off at 7:40 AM, but instead it took off at 5:35 PM.I feel obligated to share my first-hand account of the incident as a fellow passenger. It's important to make clear that I oppose violence before I continue. I want to talk about what I went through and clarify what happened," he wrote.   After a five-hour delay owing to inclement weather, boarding began at 12:20 PM with about 186 passengers, including small children, elderly people, and infants. Despite completing boarding by 12:40 PM (approx), the flight doors remained open till 2:50 PM, with ground staff attributing the delay to ATC (air traffic control) not clearing the flight because of the congestion," Mr Vij said.

High Court Rules That Refusing To Complete Marriage and Refusing Physical Intimacy Is Mental Cruelty

Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh: The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that refusing to consummate a marriage and denying physical intimacy constitute mental cruelty and are grounds for divorce.   On January 3, a man was granted a divorce by a division bench consisting of Justices Sheel Nagu and Vinay Saraf. The man's wife had refused to consummate their marriage and had not allowed him to have any physical intimacy since their 2006 wedding. In its ruling, the high court stated that "the non-consummation of marriage and denial of physical intimacy amounts to mental cruelty."He married her in July 2006, according to the man's appeal. But because she felt coerced into the marriage, his wife refused to live with him and consummate their union. The woman allegedly told the man that she was in love with someone else and requested the man to unite them. The man said he left for the US for work the same month, and in September, the woman went to live with her family and never returned. In 2011, the man filed an application before a family court in Bhopal seeking divorce. In 2014, the family court rejected the plea.
