"It was going to happen...some of them retaliated after they were attacked...I apologize for their behaviour and I once again urge them to remain non-violent," he told reporters here in response to a query on the arrest of over a dozen AAP workers in Delhi.
Kejriwal, during the second day of his Gujarat sojourn, will meet Sikh farmers settled in the state's Kutch district.
Earlier, Ashutosh and another AAP leader Shazia Ilmi were named in an FIR in which charges of rioting and damage to public property have been included, raising the possibility of their arrest while 14 party workers were arrested in connection with the clashes outside the BJP headquarters here.

"All those identifiable and present at the protest site have been named in the FIR," said a senior Delhi police official. Those arrested will be produced before a local court here in the afternoon.
28 people, including 13 AAP activists and 10 BJP supporters, were injured in the clashes, police said...............
