Legislative proceedings are usually far from
stimulating and we have grown accustomed to our MPs and MLAs taking a
surreptitious nap or even snoring defiantly to escape the tedium o
debate. But the three Karnataka BJP ministers who were forced to resign
took a step ahead and choose a more noble way to disgrace the democratic
temple. Much to the embarrassment of themselves and their party, they
were caught by TV cameras red handed while watching a porn movie clip,
on one of their cell phones. Laxman Savadi, minister of Coopertion, was
saying that he was watching newsclip about a woman being gang raped
brings no sympathy for him. A mere excuse of newsclip is not going to
shield your ridiculous attitude. Well as it is said that always look for
a positive things in every incidents. The best that can be said in this
event is that in an era where our legislature are sporadic witnesses to
a range of boisterous activities like fisticuffs, abuse, screaming,
overthrown furniture, torn papers and flung slippers and not to forget
the money hai to honey hai drama in the parliament – the tri murti were
passing their time silently without disturbing the proceedings of the
house. Well at least the trio has made a history by watching porn in the
legislative proceeding for the first time in the history of Indian
politics.
On the other side this matter has exposes the
unalloyed hypocrisy of the conservative and hardline leaders who always
have questioned on the issue of sex and morality. Not a very back it was
in Karnataka only that the fundamentalist assaulted women in pubs, ran
anti valentine day’s campaigns – all this with a view to protect the
culture from the immoral foreign influence. The state
government which is already facing the burns of permitting a wild rave
party in the Udipi, this incident just added the salt on the wounds.
Although we do not expect our representatives to be
saint, persons indulging in such vulgar activities should not be
tolerated. They should not only resign but also be barred from
contesting elections.
