NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has quit Chinese social media platform Weibo, the BJP said on Wednesday, with its general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh saying that Modi has sent out a “strong message” at the border, on economic front and now at “personal level too”.
“After Govt move of banning 59 Chinese Apps, PM Narendra Modi exits from Chinese social media platform WEIBO also. Strong message at the border, on economic front & at personal level too,” Santhosh said.
Sources have said Modi decided to quit Weibo, which he had joined in 2015, as soon as the decision was taken to ban 59 Chinese apps in India.
They added that Weibo has a more complex procedure to quit for accounts of important personalities which is why an official process was initiated.
For reasons best known to the Chinese, there was a great delay in granting this basic permission, they said. (AGENCIES)
