In response, Ajit Pawar’s lawyer said that this is an old Facebook page. How can I check this?

Now you are trying to establish yourself as a separate party because of your ideological differences with Sharad Pawar.
Do not use Sharad Pawar’s videos
The Supreme Court said we will try to convince both parties that you should focus on conducting elections. The people of this country are very smart and know how to vote. People of the country can recognize who is Sharad Pawar and who is Ajit Pawar. You should obey the court order honestly and respect it. We don’t know if the video had an impact, and if so, how big an impact it had? The court asked Ajit Pawar’s lawyers to create their own political identity and not use Sharad Pawar’s videos.
We follow court orders: Ajit Pai

This is an attempt to show that the family is one and should get votes for one name: Singhvi

To this, Justice Surya Kant asked, do you think the voters of Maharashtra are unaware of the differences between political parties? Sharad Pawar group lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi said if we look at the matter differently, the idea is that the Pawar family is one and should seek votes under the same name. You can’t do that. The Supreme Court asked how many seats are you contesting face to face? In this regard, Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the two parties face each other on 36 seats, which is the most important thing? To Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s reply, the Supreme Court asked how voters would be confused when they come face to face. ? Lawyers for Sharad Pawar Group said that in the disclaimer provided, the two were indirectly described as one.
