New Delhi: Give up hatred, not social media accounts, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday, reacting to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tweet wherein he had talked of giving up his social media accounts.

"Give up hatred, not social media accounts," Rahul tweeted with a screenshot of Prime Minister's tweet.

Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted, "Respected Modi ji, Earnestly wish you would give this advice to the concerted army of trolls, who abuse-intimidate-badger-threaten others every second in your name! Sincere Regards, Citizens of India."

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he is "thinking of giving up" his social media accounts.

"This Sunday, thinking of giving up my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube. Will keep you all posted," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
