Bollywood has expressed shock and dismay over Karnataka legislators watching a porn flick on a mobile phone in midst of Assembly proceedings.
"Politicians watch porn. What a shock! Some drink and do drugs! They take bribes too. Big ones! I'm surprised that we're acting surprised! How upset we are that politicians watched porn in Parliament!," tweeted music composer-singer Vishal Dadlani.
"We must be the world's most hypocritical nation. 3 idiot ministers watching porn in the Assembly is a laugh, not a political issue. Porn is an intrinsic part of all politics. Ask Silvio Berlusconi. Ask ND Tewari. Ask those who followed JFK and his Camelot years," said filmmaker Pritish Nandy.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma said, "Ministers watching porn in the assembly is a sure sign of an emerging and shining India...jai ho".
Three BJP ministers -- Laxman Savdi, C C Patil and Krishna Palemar -- in the Sadananda Gowda government were caught on camera watching porn on mobile phone during assembly proceedings. They put down their papers today following the furore over the incident.
Poonam Pandey also said on Twitter, "2 ministers caught watching porn in assembly were confused souls. They heard `Get ready for erections` instead of `elections`. #HEHEHEH. (sic)"
"The Karnataka ministers at the assembly were actually celebrating the commencement of Valentine`s Week #porngate #heheheheh," she added.
