MH-MUNDE-WHATSAPP

Leader of Opposition in the

Maharashtra Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde claimed

Wednesday that the WhatsApp messenger service of his public

relations officer was discontinued suddenly.

Prashant Joshi, his PRO, used WhatsApp to circulate

news and updates about Munde's political meetings and his

statements, the NCP leader said.

"This is unheard of. This is the first step of

emergency in India where an opposition leader's PRO's phone is

banned," Munde said.

Joshi said his WhatsApp service stopped functioning

suddenly Wednesday afternoon and when he tried to reinstall

the app, he got a message that his phone number has been

banned from using WhatsApp as the account's activity was in

violation of the terms of service.
