Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia on Friday tweeted that his Twitter account had been hacked and that "someone" was retweeting messages against social activist Anna Hazare.
"My account hacked. Someone retweeting anti Anna Hazare messages from account. Trying to delete them, not even getting deleted," Sisodia tweeted.
He also said: "Pls don't believe them. I have greatest respect for Anna ji. Can never say such things against him. Pls don't believe them."

However, the alleged "anti-Anna Hazare" tweets could not be found on Sisodia's timeline.
Hazare had blamed Kejriwal's quest for power as the reason behind electoral defeats of AAP. The social activist had said that Kejriwal has "dashed my hopes" soon after the Shunglu panel report revealed allegations of gross misuse of power by the AAP-led Delhi government.
