Why did Trump and the White House 'Un-Follow' Modi on Twitter?
The Indian leadership, which aspires for better relations with the United States, has been dealt a major blow and the official Twitter handle of Donald Trump, the White House and the US President has "followed" Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A few days ago, the White House started following the Indian Prime Minister, the Indian Embassy in the United States, President Ram Kavand and others on the social networking site Twitter.
Following this development, the number of accounts being followed by the White House raise to 19, suggesting that the growing proximity at the economic level is now growing at the diplomatic level as well, while the Indian media claimed that Modi is the only leader in the world who is being followed by the White House and the official Twitter account of the US President.

However, now for unknown reasons, the official Twitter accounts of the White House, Donald Trump and the US President have un-followed all these accounts, including the Indian Prime Minister, bringing the number back to 13.
It should be noted that a day after India banned the export of all medicines, US President Donald Trump had threatened India that if India did not export them a drug called Hydroxy Chloroquine, they would be punished. The consequences can be devastating.
Hydroxychloro is manufactured by India in the largest quantity in the world and Quinn is considered to be an effective drug for the treatment of Corona virus.

After Donald Trump's threat, India backed him to give him medicine and the US President and the White House liked his payment to such an extent that he started following some important personalities on Twitter, including the Indian Prime Minister.
However, the close relationship on Twitter has not yet developed as the official Twitter handle of Trump, the White House and the US President has again 'unfollowed' the Indian Prime Minister and other important personalities.
The White House did not give a clear reason for this, but it is possible that the move follows a report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
A recent US report states that "the worst and most dangerously deteriorating state of religious freedom is in India, the world's largest democracy."
Commission chairman Ted Perkins said "we are seeing a waiver for violence against minorities by non-state actors", while vice-chairman Nadine Mainza said India had "tolerated serious violations of religious freedom". ۔
The most important aspect of the report was that it recommended that India be declared a 'country of special concern'.
It should be noted that 'special concern country' is a status given by the US Secretary of State under the US International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) 1998 to a country that commits serious human rights violations.
Further action is taken against countries that are granted this status, including economic sanctions by the United States unless the government grants it a waiver in the 'national interest' as granted to Pakistan.
The report criticized the Indian Citizenship Amendment Bill, laws banning cow slaughter and conversion, the Supreme Court's decision on the Babri Masjid and measures to end the special status of occupied Kashmir.
