Sibal's censorship can't stop anti-graft movement: Kejriwal

New Delhi, Dec 11 (IANS)

Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal Sunday launched a scathing attack on Communications Minister Kapil Sibal, saying his move for censorship had failed to affect the popularity of the anti-corruption movement.

Speaking from the dais where Anna Hazare began his token daylong fast at Jantar Mantar here, activist Arvind Kejriwal said: “As for Kapil Sibal, SMSes played a big role in our movement, so he changed the telecom policy that more than 200 SMSes cannot be sent from one sim."

“Facebook helped our movement, so he tried to restrict Facebook and others...But look at the number of people who have gathered here at Jantar Mantar despite the restrictions,” he said.
Another team member, Kumar Vishwas, asked the minister to check his credibility. “He says there are cartoons (on internet), what can we do if your picture looks like a cartoon? You must check your credibility,” he said.
