Speaking to CNN IBN today, Bhushan who was discharged from hospital last night said he did not expect to be beaten up for his remarks on Kashmir, but he had no regrets for his remark. He says it is absurd to call his remarks seditious.

Bhushan reiterates that the remarks were his own and not that of Team Anna and admitted that he still had minor aches and pains after yesterday's incident.
