There was a video clip on U-Tube revealing some allegedly shady acts of Robert Vadra, Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law. This was simply not available through ANY Indian ISP.

Apparently he went from being a roadside scrap dealer, a frowned upon trade in India, to a multi billionaire, practically over night, having become a FACILITATOR !.

There is a whole lot of lampooning of Sonia Gandhi, the Indian prime minister Mr. Manmohan Singh and their cohorts. I believe Kapil Sibal has objections to that. He does not realise the fact that apart from social networking web sites there is a whole lot of emailing campaign going on which include selcted and CHOICE such renditions.
