A photo of senior opposition politicians Ghulam Nabi Azad, D Raja and Anand Sharma peering at Arun Jaitley’s iPhone had tested social media’s imagination on Tuesday.
The leaders had come together after a meeting called by PM Modi to discuss the upcoming budget session of the Parliament.
The opposition leaders used the opportunity to raise the crackdown on JNU, whose students have been accused of antinational behaviour.
After the meeting as Union Minister Venkiah Naidu briefed the media, Azad, Raja, Sharma and Jaitley struck a conversation and were seen gesticulating in disagreement. It was when Jaitley pulled out his iPhone and showed something that looked like a video clip.
Social media spent the afternoon trying to guess what the leaders had seen on the phone.
NDTV reported that the four leaders had argued if anti-India slogans had been really raised at the JNU campus.

NDTV said it based its report on one of the four leaders in the photo. Knowing the Jaitley’s proximity to media, no prizes for zeroing in on the source.
The NDTV report also noted that after seeing the video, Jaitley looked triumphant and the other leaders a bit lost.
