New Delhi : Public selects their representatives and sends them to Parliament so that they will raise their voice on the most powerful stage, but sometimes some MPs do something that embarrass themselves later. A similar thing has come out from the Parliament of Thailand. Here, an MP was caught in the camera while sitting in Parliament watching porn on mobile. Later, when asked about this, he accepted it but also made a very strange excuse.
The budget was to be discussed in Thailand’s parliament on Thursday. All the MPs were busy looking at the documents for the budget. At the same time, MP Ronnathep Anuwat was busy doing something else on the phone. Journalists sitting in the press gallery took his pictures and zoomed in and found that he was busy watching porn. During this time he also removed the mask from his face for a better look. He kept staring at the phone for a long time, in which one picture contained the woman Topless, and in the second picture, she is naked and lying on the bed.
Chon Buri province MP of the ruling Palang Pracharath party was embarrassed when reporters questioned him later. However, he admitted that he was seeing porn on his mobile. But he claimed that someone had sent him these pictures, demanding money and help. The MP said that he was trying to find out if the girl was in any danger by looking at the background carefully in the pictures. He was watching things around the girl.
The MP said that he was watching the pictures carefully because he feared that the girl might be in the possession of the gangsters. He said that he later realized that the girl was asking for money, so he deleted those pictures from mobile. After the matter has been raised in the media, the government has asked him for an answer. In 2012, Bangkok’s MP Naat Banadatan was also caught watching porn during the constitutional amendment.
This type of incident has also occurred in India. In 2012, two cabinet ministers in Karnataka assembly were caught on camera watching pornographic films on smartphones. Apart from this, in 2015, in the Odisha Legislative Assembly, one MLA was found involved in such activity.
