It all began with Sonia arriving early. She whispered something to minister of state for telecommunications Jyotiraditya Scindia sitting two rows behind her. He went to Congress MP from Mumbai Sanjay Nirupam and passed on instructions to him and some other MPs. Scindia also got with him a photocopy of the NCERT textbook on political science that has the controversial cartoon on Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr BR Ambedkar.

When television news anchor Rahul Kanwal got through to Srinivasan and asked him about Meiyappan’s arrest, the BCCI president reacted with thuggish belligerence: 'Shut up, just shut up.
