    Twitter to sue Elon Musk for backing out from $44 billion deal

    Twitter has decided to sue Elon Musk after he wrote a letter to the company saying that he wants to cancel his $44 billion bid to purchase Twitter.

    In response to the letter by Musk’s lawyer, the chair of Twitter’s board, Bret Taylor, tweeted that the board is “committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon” with Musk and “plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.”

    According to a letter by a lawyer on behalf of billionaire Elon Musk addressed to Twitter’s top legal officer on Friday, Musk notified the company that he wants to cancel his $44 billion bid to purchase Twitter.

    “Mr Musk is terminating the merger agreement because Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement, and is likely to suffer a Company Material Adverse Effect.”

    He also claimed Twitter breached its obligations under the agreement to get Musk’s consent before changing its ordinary course of business, pointing to recent layoffs at the company.

    Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, agreed to buy Twitter in April. Then in June, Twitter’s board of directors agreed on a $44 billion deal with Musk.

    Alizeh Shah reacts to Shoaib Akhtar’s viral meme

    While citing a rather appropriate meme passed in response to former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar’s recent announcement, actor Alizeh Shah explained what she believes meme culture should adapt.

    Shoaib had announced on Saturday, July 2, that he will be performing Hajj this year “as a state guest of Saudi Arabia.” He had added, “I will also be addressing the Hajj Conference attended by leaders of the Muslim world in Makkah,” highlights of which he has shared on his Twitter.

    A netizen made a meme that said, “So shaitan’s going to get hit with stones incoming at 150kph+ this year.” Alizeh then shared the tweet alongside the response on her Insta Stories to write, “Now that’s what I call a meme.” The Tanaa Banaa diva added, “Yaad rakhen, mazaaq karne, or mazaaq uraane mein zameen asmaan ka farq hai (Remember, there is a huge difference between cracking a joke and making a mockery).”

    The Ehd-e-wafa star keeps her fans hooked on social media with trendy photos.

  • When Fawad Khan and Ranveer Singh got rejected for a Hollywood film

    When Fawad Khan and Ranveer Singh got rejected for a Hollywood film

    Actor Fawad Khan confessed in an interview that he was looking forward to a get a role in the Hollywood feature film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist after he was led on for a year by the makers.

    The Reluctant Fundamentalist Official Trailer #1 (2013) - Kate Hudson Movie HD - YouTube

    The Zindagi Gulzar Hai star shared that he was very disheartened when he did not get the role after waiting for such a long period of time.

    “I came across this film where I was supposed to audition for the role, that went on for a whole year. I wasn’t led on. (Pauses) Yeah! OK! I was led on for almost a year. I thought that I’d be a part of it some way or the other. So it was for this film called Reluctant Fundamentalist,” said Fawad.

    “It was under consideration for like a whole year. Towards the end of the year, I suddenly realized that it was not working out. It was not gonna happen. I was heartbroken. I had waited a whole year and I parked my career aside to a film I thought I was gonna do it right. That’s when I got into TV with a vengeance,” added Fawad.

    The Reluctant Fundamentalist was released in 2012 and the role was bagged by the Oscar-nominated actor, Riz Ahmed. The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about young Pakistani man chasing corporate success on Wall Street. He finds himself embroiled in a conflict between his American dream, a hostage crisis, and the enduring call of his family’s homeland.

    Now Bollywood star Ranveer Singh mentioned on the chat show Koffee With Karan, “I have been rejected for The Reluctant Fundamentalist.”

    When Karan Johar mentioned the Bollywood film Bombay Velvet, Singh said that he was rejected but dropped from the project. He said, “I was not rejected for Bombay Velvet. I was unceremoniously dropped because at the time, I couldn’t justify the budget. My star value wasn’t as high. But, things have changed.”

    Bombay Velvet, helmed by Anurag Kashyap, starred Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles. Karan Johar had a cameo. The Reluctant Fundamentalist starred Om Puri, Shabana Azmi, and Riz Ahmed in pivotal roles.

  • SBP raises policy rate to 14-year-high of 15 per cent

    SBP raises policy rate to 14-year-high of 15 per cent

    In an attempt to calm the economy, control inflation, and support the beleaguered rupee, the State Bank of Pakistan’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to raise the policy rate by 125 basis points (bps) to 15 per cent on Thursday.

    The previous policy rate at the same level was in 2008, so the current policy rate is at a level that is 14 years higher. The committee also disclosed that, in order to improve the transmission of monetary policy, interest rates on EFS and LTFF loans are now tied to the policy rate.

    Following the MPC meeting on Thursday, SBP Acting Governor Dr Murtaza Syed gave a virtual press conference where he announced the monetary policy decision. He told the media that the rate of inflation has been rising at its highest rate since 1970.

    “Globally, inflation is at multi-decade highs in most countries, and central banks are acting aggressively, putting pressure on most emerging market currencies to depreciate,” he continued.

    He praised recent government decisions, such as ending petroleum subsidies, and claimed that these actions had made it possible to finish the IMF loan programme. Pakistan’s external financing requirements for FY23 will be met thanks to significant additional funding from external sources, which will be stimulated by the anticipated conclusion of the ongoing IMF review.

    Then, during the course of FY23, rupee pressures should ease and the SBP’s FX reserves should gradually resume their prior upward trajectory.

    According to him, monetary tightening and fiscal consolidation will cause GDP growth to moderate to 3–4 per cent in FY23, helping to close the positive output gap and lessen demand-side pressures on inflation.

    The acting governor SBP stated that, according to the MPC’s baseline outlook, headline inflation is likely to remain high in FY23, hovering around 19–20 per cent, before dropping sharply to the target range of 5–7 per cent by the end of FY24, driven by stringent policies, a normalisation of global commodity prices, and advantageous base effects.
