Click to play videoNew Delhi: After Karnataka the porngate has hit Gujarat. Two BJP MLAs allegedly watched porn inside the Gujarat Assembly. They were watching porn on a tablet computer while the assembly proceeding was on.
Gujarat Speaker Ganpat Vasava has ordered probe into allegations against two BJP MLAs of watching obscene pictures during Assembly proceedings.
Sources said that the two MLAs facing the allegations are Shankarbhai Lagadhirbhai Chaudhary and Jethabhai Ghelabhai Ahir Bharwad from the BJP. While Chaudhary is an MLA from Radhanpur, Bharwad is from Shehra.
A reporter from a local Gujarati newspaper is believed to have captured the duo watching porn on his cell phone.
Chaudhary, however, denied allegations, saying that this was an attempt to malign her image. "The allegations of me watching porn in assembly is baseless. This is an attempt to politically malign me. The assembly proceedings are recorded in CCTV. I request the Opposition to check the CCTV footage. All the allegations against me are baseless. I am not the person who watches porn at all."
Bharwad said, "This is baseless and wrong. I will resign if found guilty. Mediapersons are showing the correct thing. You should be truthful. We have not done anything wrong. We are very hurt. Opposition party is targeting us. We are ready to face an enquiry. We will resign if found guilty."
Reacting to the allegations against BJP MLAs, Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari slammed BJP for violating temples of democracy. "Sad that BJP ruled states are violating temples of democracy. This is their real 'charitra' (character)," he said.
Leader of Opposition in Gujarat Assembly Arjun Modhwadia said that BJP's real face has now come out in open and demanded that a House Committee should investigate the matter.
"BJP's real face came out in the open when legislators were caught watching porn clips in Karnataka assembly. Legislators in Gujarat also were caught watching obscene photographs. A house committee should investigate this case," Congress leader Modhwadia said.
BJP leader Balbir Punj said, "If this news is indeed true, we will take action on the guilty MLAs just the same way as we did in the case of Karnataka."
Janakbhai Purohit, journalist of a local daily who recorded the BJP MLAs watching porn, said that he even informed the Speaker about it but after a while the duo continued to watch porn. "First they took out a photograph of Swami Vivekananda, but then they started looking at vulgar photographs of girls. I realised that this was wrong and I informed the speaker about it," Purohit said.
The controversy comes a few days after three BJP MLAs in Karnataka were forced to resign from the state cabinet after being caught watching porn in the assembly.
