Three state ministers from southern India, including one holding a portfolio for women and child development, resigned on Wednesday after being accused of watching porn in the local assembly. The ministers from the ruling right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were filmed by television cameras watching graphic footage on their mobile phones on Tuesday while other lawmakers in the house were debating legislation. In the footage, the ministers were seen watching a woman dancing, undressing and then engaging in a sexual act. They passed their mobile phones amongst themselves. “We have resigned to avoid embarrassment to our party and not give the opposition an opportunity to disrupt the assembly proceedings today,” state minister for cooperation Laxman Savadi told reporters. “We were watching a clipping of an incident for a discussion on the rave parties held at St Mary’s Island (on the western coast of Karnataka). It was not a porn clip.” Karnataka’s minister for women and child development, CC Patil, and the minister for ports and fishery Krishna Palemar also stepped down. “It’s a shameless act. The three ministers have submitted their resignation. We will set up an enquiry committee to probe the incident,” said BJP spokeswoman Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi.
