July 31, 2012  09:44
As the latest round of anti-corruption activist Anna Hazares indefinite fast entered into its third day on Tuesday, the Broadcast Editors' Association has demanded an apology from Team Anna after the latters supporters heckled media persons on Monday evening at Jantar Mantar. 

"The Broadcast Editors' Association strongly condemns attack on media by Anna supporters. The BEA believes that this is an interference in the functioning of media. The media is discharging its legitimate duty of covering the agitation in a fair manner. The BEA seeks an immediate apology from Team Anna for the misbehaviour by its supporters," the BEA said in a press release. 

The scuffle took place at around 10 pm on Monday night, after a Team Anna member claimed on stage that the media was not fairly covering the movement.

While Team Anna member Kumar Vishwas condemned the incident saying the scuffle was unwarranted, the BEA has stressed on an immediate apology.
