The Supreme Court has directed the Sharad Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to refrain from using the 'clock' symbol in advertisements, a symbol that has been officially allotted to the Ajit Pawar-led NCP block, and to use only the 'trumpet' symbol. This decision comes amid a legal dispute over the symbol's usage. In a related development, Sharar Pawar, addressing a public rally in Maharashtra's Baramati, criticized the central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for attacking democracy and being intolerant of dissent. Pawar highlighted his past cooperation with Modi, despite their current differences.
