Nath claimed obscene videos started appearing on his phone as he received a call. "I know well that using mobile phones is prohibited in the House. As repeated calls were coming, I picked up, and obscene videos started appearing on my phone. Anyways, I then closed it," he told PTI. He said he has spoken to state BJP chief Rajib Bhattacharya who told him to "wait". The Congress and Leader of Opposition Animesh Debbarma demanded action against Nath. Speaker Biswabandhu Sen said he is yet to receive a complaint over the issue.
