New Delhi, Dec 3 (IBNS): Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Saturday suggested hacking as an event in the next Olympics.

Taking a dig at the GoI over the recent hacking activities, the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister tweeted, "Who is a better Hacker? Chinese or Indians? Shouldn't we include Hacking in next Olympics? Do we have a chance for a Gold Medal?"

Recently, Rahul Gandhi's verified Twitter account was hacked by a group.

The verified Congress Twitter account too suffered a similar fate.

The hackers had posted that they have enough evidence to bring down the party and urged people to wait for a 'Christmas present'.

Though the account was later retrieved, no one has been arrested so far releating to the cyber crime.

Following the incident, the opposition slammed the government and mocked their Digital India initiative.
