Union Minister Kiren Rijiju and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge were engaged in a brief altercation on Thursday during the passage of 'The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill' in the Upper House.
Opposition MPs were protesting and raising slogans while Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw was presenting the Bill in the House.
Addressing the Chair, Rajya Sabha LoP Kharge said, "When everybody was inside (the well), you passed the Bill. I have one request, listen to everybody, dismiss our points, we won't bother, but at least what we want to say in this, if you (Speaker) don't give us chances, then this is wrong."
Responding to this, Vice Chairman Harivansh said, "I will welcome if you want to say something on the Bill."
Kharge said, "You said listen what is happening in the House."
