Is Eknath Shinde a faction or a party, Kapil Sibal asked in the Supreme Court..
Because if he is a party then why did he go to the election commission demanding the symbol and the name, Kapil Sibal argued...
In the hearing of the Sena symbol row in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, senior advocate Kapil Sibal arguing for former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray said what happened in Maharashtra is a mockery and it is not only limited to Maharashtra -- it's about Meghalaya, Manipur and everywhere else. Sibal was arguing for Uddhav Thackeray who challenged the election commission's verdict to recognise Eknath Shinde's faction as the real Shiv Sena..
Referring to the rebellion of Eknath Shinde which brought down the Uddhav-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government, Sibal asked on what Constitutional basis Shinde called himself a political party..
Before the Supreme Court, Shinde is saying he is the political party, but before the election commission, he is saying he is the faction..
