On the International Women’s Day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has a request for Prime Minister Narendra Modi: stop following abusive handles on Twitter.
Modi’s personal account has 28 million followers and he is following 1638 people. He is the most followed leader of a state in the world. But his handles, especially his personal account, has often been flagged for following abusive handles.
Happy women’s day to all. On this day, I urge Hon’ble PM to unfollow all those who abuse n threaten women n take strong action against them

It’s not the first time the Opposition has trolled Modi for following abusive accounts. In a speech in the Rajya Sabha on February 2, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien had accused Modi of encouraging online hatred and harassment through his follow-backs.
“Twenty-six Twitter handles that give out rape threats, communal threats are followed by the Prime Minister of India,” O’Brien had claimed.
Today, O’Brien tweeted:
Made the same request last month in #Parliament Maybe he will heed a CMs request https://t.co/q1UpZCI8IS
