Even as the common man continues to be bothered by these pesky SMSes, the nation’s Telecom Minister has shared that he hasn’t been spared either. At the Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit, Kapil Sibal shared that he was a victim of pesky SMSes, too. "Trai is taking it up (pesky calls/SMSes issue). I also face lot of problem.
