Panaji - The three Karnataka ministers who were sacked for watching porn clips in the state assembly were "only watching and not doing it in action", a BJP leader said here Thursday.
Leader of opposition Manohar Parrikar, asked about the three BJP ministers, told reporters: "There are people all across the country who do worse things. Congress leaders have chopped women and burnt them in a tandoor… In Madhya Pradesh, a Congressman chopped his wife and fed her to crocodiles… Then there was the Bhanwari devi case.
"They (the three Karnataka ministers) were only watching and not doing it in action like these Congressmen," said Parrikar, who also heads the BJP's good governance cell.
He also said that the action of the Karnataka state BJP to immediately sack the three ministers - Laxman Savadi, C.C. Patil and Krishna Palemar - was laudatory. "I congratulate the party for taking action quickly," Parrikar said.
