Even before it could take a decision on summoning the three former ministers found watching pornographic video clippings on a mobile phone, the legislative assembly committee — constituted by Speaker KG Bopaiah to probe the episode — has begun the process of grilling representatives of television channels for telecasting the damning footage.

The questions ranged from “what is the purpose of your organisation when securing entrance into the assembly?” to “instead of recording the proceedings of the assembly, your journalist forgot his primary duty and recorded indecent and unnecessary things on his camera. Is this correct? What was the intention behind this?”

Don’t you think if these questions were put before the minister found watching porn, that would have made better sense? Is Karnataka assembly right in grilling media over porn-in-assembly exposé, rather than those caught on camera?
