On the concluding day of the Assembly's winter session, INLD MLA Kehar Singh and BJP legislator Gian Chand Gupta engaged in a heated exchange of words when Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was replying to a calling attention notice.
The notice was moved by INLD members to draw the Assembly's attention on the state government's decision of selecting applicants for Group C and D posts on merit basis.
Gupta tried to counter the INLD MLA's charge. Upset over being interjected, Kehar Singh made some serious allegations against Gupta, drawing sharp reaction from the treasury bench.
Proceedings of the House were disrupted for quite some time as members of treasury benches and INLD MLAs traded barbs. INLD legislators, led by Jaswinder Singh, even demanded a probe over the allegation against Gupta.
Deputy Speaker Santosh Yadav unsuccessfully tried to end the logjam. Haryana Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ram Bilas Sharma even asked the INLD MLA to withdraw his accusations but to no effect.
