The White House has around 21 million followers and it unfollowed several Indian handles including the PM and President's.

The White House account had started following PM Modi on April 10. He became the only world leader followed by the official Twitter handle of the US administration.

White House followed 19 Twitter handles at the time and all non-American accounts were Indian.

The move has been questioned by several political leaders.
