The official Twitter handle of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia appeared to have been hacked on Saturday, as claimed by the minister himself.
A series of anti-Anna Hazare tweets were sent out from the handle to its 1.01 million followers.
Manish Sisodia himself confirmed by tweeting that his account has been hacked.
He tweeted "My account hacked. Someone retweeting anti Anna Hazare messages from account. Trying to delete them, not even getting deleted."
"Pls don't believe them. I have greatest respect for Anna ji. Can never say such things against him. Pls don't believe them," he added.
Sisodia's Twitter account appeared to have re-tweeted some posts which were clearly against Anna Hazare current stand on the BJP and the Lokpal.
Sisodia was among the key faces of the anti-corruption movement launched in Delhi before Kejriwal moved into active politics and parted ways with Anna.
