The Ethics Committee of the Odisha Assembly will meet at 11.30 am on Tuesday over the alleged porn video watching by Congress MlA Naba Kishore Das in the House during its last session.
Members of the Ethics Committee headed by Ranendra Pratap Swain have been intimated about the schedule of the meeting by the Assembly Secretariat, according to sources.
It may be noted that ruling BJD MlAS had demanded action against Das after a TV channel telecast him watching some ‘obscene’ pictures in his personal mobile. Speaker Niranjan Pujari had suspended Das for seven days after sending the allegation to the Ethics Committe for investigation.
However, both Congress and BJP members had opposed the suspension of Das. They even boycotted the House demanding withdrawal of the suspension order. They argued that while the matter was with the Ethics Committee for consideration and Das was not given a chance to clarify his stand, the suspension order was not appropriate
Das had ‘clarified’ that his finger touched the YouTube button on the touch-screen mobile by mistake.
