‘Without asking me, no one will say anything nor write’, why did Raj Thackeray lock on the tongue of MNS workers?

Mumbai. MNS Chief Raj Thackeray has issued an unprecedented order to stop all the people of his party from making public statements. Raj Thackeray has banned all MNS members from talking to the media without their permission or expressing their opinion on social media. Raj Thackeray said on X that ‘A clear order… any member of the party will neither communicate with newspapers, neither with news channels nor through any digital medium. Also, posting videos of your reactions on social media is also absolutely forbidden.

Raj Thackeray also said that the spokespersons who have been given the authorized responsibility to talk to the media, they too have neither to communicate with the media nor express anything on social media without my permission. Amidst the Marathi and Amarathi disputes, there are discussions about the possible alliance between the Shiv Sena Thackeray faction and the MNS, while the officials and prominent leaders of both parties are expressing favorable and adverse reactions while talking to the media. In this context, MNS chief Raj Thackeray has ordered that the leaders of the party should not talk to the media at all without asking him. On July 5, the two Thackeray came together at the NSCI Dome of Worli on the issue of Marathi and discussions about their alliance gained momentum.
