Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli does not have a Facebook account, the government said today, rejecting as "fake" a social media site operated in his name.
The Office of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers (OPMCM) has expressed serious concern about the fake Facebook being operated in the name of Prime Minister Oli, a senior official said.
Pramod Dahal, Press Advisor to Oli, in a statement clarified that Prime Minister did not have a Facebook account, be it in his personal capacity or official.
Hence, the existing one is fake account, the state-run National News Agency (RSS) quoted Dahal as saying.
The OPMCM added that since there was not any personal Twitter account being run by the Prime Minister, it is wise to overlook the contents posted in these social networking sites.
Oli, however, has been marking his presence in cyber space through his official twitter account '@PM_Nepal', the press release noted.
