MPs Palani Thigambaram and Velu Kumar of the Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) got into a fight during a live debate on a local TV show.
Video footage shows the two MPs exchanging harsh words, which soon escalated into a physical altercation, prompting the TV staff to separate the duo.
Recently, MP Velu Kumar announced his support for President Ranil Wickremesinghe at the upcoming Presidential election while MP Thigambaram, along with TPA leader Mano Ganesan, pledged support to Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.
