New Delhi/Kaushambi (Ghaziabad), Oct. 23: Former India Against Corruption activist Annie Kohli received an apology from civil rights activist Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday, hours after she claimed that she was not allowed to meet the latter over the issue of being branded a political agent.

Kohli had earlier said that she wasn’t a political agent as claimed by IAC activists.

She said that she later met Kejriwal and discussed her problems with him.

“Kejriwal heard my problem, he assured me that he will talk to Mayank Gandhi. I respect Kejriwalji,” Kohli said.

Annie said that while she supported Kejriwal on the issue of combatting the menace of corruption, she did not support his political campaign. She said there were no differences between her and Kejriwal.

Kejriwal had called Kohli and other former colleagues in Team Anna on Sunday.

After a barrage of questions from one of them, Annie Kohli, Kejriwal beat a hasty retreat, only to come out later and rubbish her questions.

Kohli and her team protested outside Kejriwal’s office, and there were even posters put up against him.

Ironically, Kejriwal came under fire at a dramatic press conference he had called to protest alleged police excesses against his team mates. (ANI)
