After Government announces ban 59 Chinese apps such as tiktok, shareit,etc now PM Narendra Modi has also decided to quit Chinese micro blogging website Weibo.
PM Modi had 115 posts on Weibo. It was decided to manually delete them & after much effort 113 posts were removed, news agency ANI tweeted.
For VIP accounts, the micro blogging website has a more complex procedure to quit which is why an official process to deactivate the account was initiated. However, for reasons best known to the Chinese authorities, there was a great delay in granting this basic permission.
On Wednesday, all information from Modi's account - including his profile photo - were taken down. PM Modi's Weibo account was set up in 2015 amid much fanfare and publicity before his first visit to China as prime minister. Since then the account had 244000 followers, many of them Chinese.
