NEW DELHI (AP) — Three government ministers accused of watching a pornographic video in a state assembly in southern India have resigned.
The governor of Karnataka state accepted the ministers’ resignations on Wednesday.
Local television channels filmed one of the ministers watching the allegedly pornographic video clip on his mobile phone. He then passed the phone to his colleague, who also watched the clip while assembly proceedings were going on. The mobile phone belonged to the third minister.
The three leaders belong to the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party that rules the state.
They have denied that they were watching pornography.
They said they were resigning to save their party from embarrassment.
