BJP issues notice against the MLA

Following the incident, the BJP issued a notice against the MLA and demanded clarification, per NDTV. However, Nath is yet to make any comments on the matter. This is not the first time a BJP legislator has been caught watching porn publicly. In 2012, two BJP ministers in Karnataka quit after they were caught watching obscene clips inside the state assembly.
