Indian politicians resign after porn debacle

Three politicians from India have resigned after they were caught watching pornographic material on their cellular phones during a session in parliament, Reuters has reported.

While sitting in a state assembly, news media have broadcast footage of state Minister for Cooperation Laxman Savadi showing a porn clip to Minister for Women and Child Development, C.C. Patil. The phone belonged to state Minister for Ports, Science and Technology Krishna Palemar, who has also quit.

They have denied that they were deliberately looking at porn, but did not want to cause embarrassment to the party. "We are requesting the honourable Speaker of the House to conduct an inquiry and we'll come out with a clean chit," Patil has said.
