Late on Monday, there had been a scuffle between IAC supporters and media persons, with the former accusing the media of not projecting the happenings at Jantar Mantar accurately.

IAC member Arvind Kejriwal too offered an unconditional apology. Appreciating the long hours put in by media persons, he said, "It is wrong to blame them. It is the owners who decide what to show."

Earlier, the Broadcast Editors' Association (BEA) had demanded an apology from team Anna.
