"You Give Masala To Media": PM Modi Issues Gag Order To BJP Leaders Again | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a stinging rebuke again today to party motormouths, who have covered a wide range of subjects from terror and rape to Mahabharata and Darwin's theory over the last six months. In a video-conference with lawmakers across the country, PM Modi ripped into the leaders, reminding them that this was affecting their image as well as the party's. "We make mistakes and give 'masala' to the media... as if we are great social scientists and experts to analyse issues... the moment you see a camera you start speaking. So this half-baked stuff is picked up," he said.
