Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray has issued a strict gag order to his party members, instructing them not to speak to the media or post reaction videos on social media platforms without his explicit permission.
In a post on X late Tuesday night, Thackeray made it clear that no one from the MNS should engage with newspapers, television channels or digital media.
“A clear directive… No one from the party should interact with newspapers, news channels, or any digital media. Likewise, absolutely do not post videos of your reactions on social media,” he wrote.
The directive comes amid an ongoing row in Maharashtra over the use of Hindi versus Marathi, which has reignited political tensions in the state.
Thackeray also directed that even officially appointed spokespersons of the party should not make any statements or speak to the media without his prior approval.
“And those spokespersons officially assigned the responsibility of interacting with the media should also not engage with any form of media without consulting me or obtaining my permission, nor should they express themselves on social media,” he added.
