During an interaction with reporters, Singh allegedly used abusive words when journalists asked him about the Bill submitted by the NC.
Initially, the minister told the reporters that they should ask questions only about his department.
"I have nothing to do with that. If you have to ask questions, ask about health. If health is there, then everything is there. Don't get into rubbish things," the minister said.
This is not the first time that Singh has found himself mired in a controversy.
Just two weeks after he took oath, a woman doctor had filed a complaint against the minister, accusing him of "mental harassment amounting to outraging modesty".
In her complaint, the doctor had accused the Singh of misbehaviour.
Recently, a woman doctor had alleged that the minister misbehaved with her for not wearing an apron during an official function and filed a complaint, which was rejected by police.
Meanwhile, NC said Singh was not alien to abusing people and anti-beef ban bill was an emotive issue for the people of the state.
