"Some members of NSUI tried to enter the stage where Anna Hazare was sitting but were stopped by volunteers," a member of Team Anna told IANS.

The Congress accused Team Anna of trying to create a controversy by blaming NSUI.

India against Corruption, which is pearheading the campaign, said its activists were not allowed to hold peaceful protests and were detained in many parts of the country including Kolkata, Pune and Mumbai.
