Bangalore, Feb 22: The Karnataka Legislative Assembly’s in-house panel headed by ruling BJP’s Shreeshailappa Bidarur constituted by Speaker K G Bopaiah to probe into the scandal of three erstwhile ministers watching porn clips on their cell phones inside the House when legislature proceedings were going on watched the ''objectionable” clips on Wednesday.
The house panel, which has been boycotted by the Opposition Congress and JD(S) members demanding disqualification of the trio in addition to dropping them from the D V Sadananda Gowda ministry, examined the replies submitted by the three BJP former ministers along with watching the porn clips.
BJP’s three MLAs, who lost their cabinet ministerial berths after being literally caught red-handed while watching porn clips inside the house on their cell-phone on February 7, are Krishna Palemar, Laxman Savadi and C C Patil.
The house panel, which held its sitting for 30 minutes, did not reach any conclusion and has decided meet again on February 29.
The Speaker, while constituting the house panel, had asked it to submit its report by March 13. He had also served show-cause notices to the three members.
Consequent to the decision of Congress and JD(S) members to keep off from the house panel, it was left only to the ruling BJP members -- Nehru Olekar, B Suresh Gowda and S R Vishwanath – to join Shreeshailappa Bidarur in the deliberations on Wednesday.
The Congress members H C Mahadevappa and Amaregouda Bayyapur Patil and Dinakar Shetty of JD(S) have boycotted the proceedings.
The Congress and JD(S) have taken a stand that there is no need for any probe into the ''misconduct’” of the three as their scandalous act, which is unprecedented in the country’s parliamentary history, as they were caught on camera and the incident had been telecast by television channels.
But Bidarur, who spoke to reporters after the meeting, appealed to Congress and JD(S) members to participate in the committee proceedings and offer their views.
