A tragic, disgraceful witch hunt is playing out in India right now, as three politicians from a morally conservative party were forced to resign yesterday after they were caught watching pornography on a cell phone during a state assembly session. As a professional blogger, it makes me sick to my stomach to learn that even in this day and age, some men aren’t allowed to watch porn at work.
STOP THE PINK SCARE!
News channels broadcast footage showing Karnataka state Minister for Cooperation Laxman Savadi sharing a porn clip with his colleague C.C. Patil, the minister for women and child development, while sitting in the state assembly.
Cooperation, women, and child development! Porn requires all of those things! This is important research! They don’t even say what kind of porn it was, maybe it was really tasteful, like a duke and a duchess doing anal.
The owner of the phone, state Minister for Ports, Science and Technology Krishna Palemar, also quit.
“We are requesting the honorable Speaker of the House to conduct an inquiry and we’ll come out with a clean chit,” Patil said, denying that they were deliberately looking at porn.
The three men said they did not want to cause any embarrassment for their party, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which rules the state and is in opposition at a national level. [Reuters]
Ah, the old “whoops, I didn’t mean to look at porn” defense. Yeah, I don’t know what happened, it’s probably a problem with the phone, you should call tech support. You don’t even need a phone for that in India, just shout. (Haha, good one, Jay!)
