Anna Hazare’s ace adviser Arvind Kejriwal was dumbfounded when he found uncomfortable questions being thrown at the anti-graft crusader on day two of his fast at MMRDA in Mumbai.

Anna Hazare also made no bones about the support he got from TV for making him a national personality. Team Anna for the past nine months indeed prospered on the support of television media, which was in turn criticised for playing a partisan role. To remove the taint, on Wednesday, TV reporters shot uncomfortable questions, which made Anna walkout in a huff, probably wondering how did media turn gaddar (traitor)?
