Ravneet Bittu, Harsimrat Kaur engage in verbal spat over farm laws
There was high drama outside Parliament when Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu and Shiromani Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal engaged in an intense verbal spat on Wednesday. The two leaders were seen arguing with each other over the three farm laws passed by Parliament last year.
Bittu accused Badal of doing 'drama' and said that she didn't oppose the farm laws when she was a minister in the Modi government. She did not oppose the Bills when they were being passed by Parliament, he said.
