Bangalore, Feb. 7 (PTI): In an embarrassment to the BJP-led government in Karnataka, two ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching a porn clipping on a mobile phone in the state Assembly during its proceedings.

The incident involved minister for cooperation Laxman Savadi, who was watching the clippings, and minister for women and child development C.C. Patil, with whom he shared it. The act was captured by video cameras of a regional TV channel that was covering the Assembly proceedings, and the footage was aired on some channels after the House adjourned for the day.

The legislature secretariat allows private regional channels besides Doordarshan to telecast the Assembly proceedings.

The two ministers watched the “sleaze” clippings while the House was debating the issue of hoisting of Pakistani flag in Sindgi town of Bijapur district by suspected right wing Sri Rama Sena activists and also the communal tension that gripped Uppinangadi during the recent Hindu Samajotsava celebrations.
