The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Sunday, September 28, staged a protest at the Andheri Metro station in Mumbai and blackened the station’s name and allegedly vandalised billboards. The protest targeted the use of Hindi-only advertisements at the metro station, with workers demanding greater visibility for Marathi, NDTV Marathi reported. Backed by party leaders, MNS warned of more such actions if Marathi is not given priority. The incident is now under police investigation for defacement of public property. In July, MNS chief Raj Thackeray prohibited his party members from interacting with the media or posting personal reactions on social media platforms. The order came days after the MNS and other groups led a protest march in the Mira Bhayandar area near Mumbai to defend the Marathi ‘asmita’ (pride) amid rising political heat following the attack on a shopkeeper for refusing to speak in Marathi. Raj Thackeray Issues Gag Order to MNS Cadres Amid Hindi-Marathi Language Row in Maharashtra, Prohibits Party Members From Interacting With Media.
