Gandhian Anna Hazare tonight distanced himself from the man who heckled Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal at a media conference in New Delhi.

"I don't know the person who created the ruckus. When I saw the news, he claimed to be a BJP worker. I don't know who this man is", Hazare said.

The man claiming to be a BJP worker disrupted a press conference addressed by Kejriwal by throwing ink at him and his party colleagues.

Shouting 'Anna Hazare zindabad', Nachiketa Vaghrekar, who claimed to be BJP general secretary of Ahmednagar unit in Maharashtra and that he reveres Anna Hazare, accused Kejriwal of "betraying Hazare and betraying people".
