Try to stand on your own legs, don't use Sharad Pawar's photo: Supreme Court asks Ajit-led NCP faction

"Tell your party functionaries that they won't use old or new video clips or use pics of Sharad Pawar"

- 

The Supreme Court on Wednesday advised the Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction to try standing on its own legs and asked it not to use the picture of Sharad Pawar in poll campaigning with whom the party has ideological differences.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan also asked both factions of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar to focus on the battlefield (Maharashtra Assembly elections) instead of doing rounds of the courts.

"Tell your party functionaries that they will not use old or new video clips or use the photographs of Sharad Pawar with whom your party is having ideological differences. You try to stand on your legs," the bench told senior advocate Balbir Singh, appearing for Ajit Pawar-led faction.
