For a word that has hardly found any currency in common language, Minister of State for External Affairs Gen V K Singh has certainly helped make ‘Presstitute’ popular in India.

The former Army chief used the word again on Wednesday, though this time not in relation to The Indian Express as in previous instances.

Friends what do you you expect from presstitutes. Last time Arnab thought there was ‘O’ in place of ‘E’ #TimesNowDisaster

Fyi for all hyperventilating on term ‘presstitute’ should know it applies to persons whose pen is available to highest bidder. 1/2

Any other meaning applied ‘specially the sleazy one’ is a creation of highly subjective mind. Overenthusiastic connotation only exposes. 2/2
