Why was #ShameOnArunJaitley trending?

After member of the Union Cabinet Arun Jaitley gave an interview to NDTV’s Barkha Dutt on Tuesday, #ShameOnArunJaitley started trending on Twitter. Users of the social networking website criticised Jaitley, who holds three portfolios of Finance, Corporate Affairs and Information and Broadcasting, for appearing on the channel and not backing VK Singh’s view of the media.  The mainstream media has recently been under fire from users of social media with recent hashtags like #Presstitutes and #SupariJournalism trending after the VK Singh episode. Twitter users though, some of whom seem to be BJP supporters, wasted no time in condemning Jaitley for not defending VK Singh’s “Presstitute” comment used against the media.  Here are some of the tweets:  To summarize @arunjaitley interview I would say, when Big Daddy is away, the Mice will play ! #ShameOnArunJaitley — Vivek Sharma (@TheVivekSharma) April 15, 2015 @narendramodi Sir,we supported n voted 4 u inspite of d malign n hatred spread by #BazaruMedia #Presstitutes against u.#ShameOnArunJaitley — Vandana Daftari (@VandanaDaftari) April 15, 2015 #ShameOnArunJaitley Poor comment by Jaitley.
