The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has hired two advertisement agencies for publicising and promoting its activities, party sources told The Express Tribune.



The decision was taken at a meeting of the party’s social media politics team after recommendations by the PML-N senior leadership and the Punjab government’s information technology-related officials, they added.

The meeting, chaired by party president Nawaz Sharif, took place at his Raiwind residence.

Punjab Board of Information Technology (PBIT) Chairman Umar Saif gave a presentation to the participants, discussing the PML-N’s current presence on social media and the appeal of the party’s manifesto for the youth.

PML-N constituted its team of social media experts to counter the web presence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

According to some party officials, however, the team was hired by the Punjab government but has been utilised solely for PML-N objectives.

A well placed source in the PBIT said that two floors of the board’s offices at Arfa Karim Tower were currently occupied by the PML-N’s social media teams, who had been working day and night to accomplish the party’s social media goals.

He confirmed that the workers were hired by the Punjab government under PBIT, along with various other departments like the Punjab Sports Board.

The Punjab government set up a five-member committee last year to spruce up its image with a social media campaign. This team however, is apparently being utilised to promote PML-N’s social media presence.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated “Punjab Board of Investment and Trade” instead of “Punjab Board of Information Technology”. The error has been rectified.

well pmln lives too much in the past. someone should tell them that one simply cannot control social media. The following celebrated cartoon was published by The New Yorker:

he cartoon marks a notable moment in the history of the Internet. Once the exclusive domain of government engineers and academics, the Internet was now a subject of discussion in general interest magazines like The New Yorker. Lotus 1-2-3 founder and early Internet activist Mitch Kapor commented in a Time magazine article in 1993 that "the true sign that popular interest has reached critical mass came this summer when the New Yorker printed a cartoon showing two computer-savvy canines".[SUP][6][/SUP]
The cartoon symbolizes an understanding of Internet privacy that stresses the ability of users to send and receive messages in general anonymity. Lawrence Lessig suggests "no one knows" because Internet protocols do not force users to identify themselves, althoughlocal access points such as a user's university may; but this information is privately held by the local access point and not part of the Internet transaction itself.[SUP][7][/SUP]
A study by Morahan-Martin and Schumacher (2000) on compulsive or problematic Internet use discusses this phenomenon, suggesting the ability to self-represent from behind the computer screen may be part of the compulsion to go online.[SUP][8][/SUP] The phrase can be taken "to mean that cyberspace will be liberatory because gender, race, age, looks, or even 'dogness' are potentially absent or alternatively fabricated or exaggerated with unchecked creative license for a multitude of purposes both legal and illegal", an understanding that echoed statements made in 1996 by John Gilmore, a key figure in the history of Usenet.[SUP][9][/SUP] The phrase also suggests the ability to "computer crossdress" and represent oneself as a different gender, age, race, etc.[SUP][10][/SUP] On another level, "the freedom which the dog chooses to avail itself of, is the freedom to 'pass' as part of a privileged group; i.e. human computer users with access to the Internet."[SUP][10][/SUP][SUP][11][/SUP] In 2007, the cartoon was used to illustrate how the 17-year-old founder of a website could be mistaken for a seasoned Internet professional, and as a metaphor for the program Wikiscanner that is able to link anonymous editors of Wikipedia to the organization owning that IP address.[SUP][12][/SUP] There may also be relevance to the possibility of using the internet for pedophilia.[SUP][13][/SUP]

پنجاب نے دو ایڈورٹائزمنٹ ایجنسیوں کو ہائر کرلیا ہے جو عمران خان کے خلاف پروپیگنڈا اشتہاری مہم بنائیں گی۔ اس مقصد کے لئے پنجاب حکومت عمران*خان کی مقبولیت ختم کرنے کے لئے عوام کی*خون پسینے کا روپیہ پانی کی طرح بہادے گی۔ اس سارے پراجیکٹ پر پنجاب انفارمیشن ٹیکنالوجی بورڈ کے ڈائریکٹر عمر سیف کام کررہے ہیں۔ عمر سیف کی*ڈیوٹی تو پنجاب میں آئی ٹی کا فروغ ہے لیکن ملازم وہ آج کل رائے ونڈ والوں کا بنا ہوا ہے۔ ​

Actual news was PMLN hired two agencies to run their campaign. Pagallll Khan supporters like to twist things for point scoring. Pagalll Khan spend millions on pop singer to sing a song in Jalsas with charity money of hospital.

If that is true then ask Khan and Javed Hashhmi togo into courts. Supreme courts doors are open for Khan and Javed Hashmi.

Keep twisting things but without eveidence it is nothing

Actual news was that "PMLN hired two agencies to run PR campaign". What is wrong with that?

If Pagall Khan and its supporters think that tax payers money is involved then file a petition with evidence.
