If the EC order was egregious, the Supreme Court would have given a stay. The very fact that they didn't get a stay shows that there is enough solid grounding in the EC order for the court not to give interim relief:

Darool Uloom Deoband nation's top Islamic seminary expels 4 for shaving their beards.
Others notified that they'll be expelled if they dare to follow suit.
This sounds like something the Taliban would do.
But wait, isn't Taliban's obscurantism inspired by Deobandi thought?

PM Modi's parents had nothing to do with politics. So, to drag the PM's father, the way they did, is condemnable. PM Modi has risen in public life on his own merit rather than dynasts, who enjoy the fruits of generational politics:

When the only by-election with temporary symbols happened, Uddhav Thackeray faction emerged victorious:
"People will decide everything with their votes, " says.
"Was any matter of party split...," asks.

Saying that only MLAs & MPs constitute a party, that's wrong. There are members & workers on the ground too:
Shiv Sena's cadre & workers was unhappy with the way Uddhav Thackeray was working. He was only a Facebook CM:

ECI has already given the reasoning behind its decision to give Shiv Sena's name & symbol to the Shinde faction. If Uddhav Thackeray feels there's any issue, he can move the SC, but as of now the matter is settled:

The numbers can be one way & there can be other ways too. Notwithstanding the loss of symbol & party's name, people will decide which faction is the real Shiv Sena. This is a battle of the brands which'll be decided in the market:

ECI said that 76% of votes given to Shiv Sena, now are with Eknath Shinde. ECI's decision to go with the Shinde faction is absolutely right legally:
"If a CM didn't know that his MLAs were moving against him,..." he adds.

On the political aspect, I'd agree with Mr. Pawar's advice to Mr. Thackeray about moving on despite the the ECI's decision. Plus, the ECI didn't hear the matter of Chirag Paswan, which had risen even prior to the Sena issue. Why So?:
