A day after Bharatiya Janata Party Bhopal candidate Sadhvi Pragya Thakur called Nathuram Godse, a patriot, Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde’ Twitter account tweeted, “Am glad that 7 decades later today’s generation debates in a changed perceptional environment and gives good scope for the condemned to be heard upon. #NathuramGodse would have finally felt happy with this debate!”.
However, within hours, the tweet was deleted and Hegde shared that his account was “breached twice in the past one week and certain tweets” were posted on his timeline “which has been discarded and deleted.”
My Twitter account has been breached twice in the past one week and certain tweets have been posted on my timeline which has been discarded and deleted. Regret the posts attributed to me.

In another tweet, the minister wrote, “My Twitter account has been breached twice in the past one week and certain tweets have been posted on my timeline which has been discarded and deleted. Regret the posts attributed to me.”
My account was hacked since yesterday. There is no question of justifying Gandhi ji’s murder. There can be no sympathy or justification of Gandhi ji’s murder. We all have full respect for Gandhi ji’s contribution to the nation.
