India, July 30 -- A fake resignation letter claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stepped down from his post has been circulating on social media, prompting the Centre on Thursday to issue a clarification and dismiss the claim as false.

The viral document, which carried the Ashok Chakra emblem and appeared to have PM Modi's signature, claimed that the prime minister was resigning due to "personal and political responsibility".
