New Delhi/IBNS: Surprising his countrymen and most importantly netizens, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he is thinking of giving up his social media accounts.

PM Modi, who is one of the most-followed world leaders on social media, is yet to take a final call on the matter.

In a tweet on Monday, the PM wrote: "This Sunday, thinking of giving up my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube. Will keep you all posted."
