Modi till date published 115 posts on Weibo. According to PMO officials, though they had requested to cancel the account, Weibo was continuing the account. The PM’s posts were deleted by the officials on Wednesday. Right now Modi’s Weibo account is seen as blank.
Modi has more than 24 lakh followers in Weibo and many of his posts were about the India-China relations.
