Participating in a debate on a discussion on the Union Budget, Channi referred to the assasination of Bittu's grandfather, former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh.
This led to a war of words between Bittu, who recently quit the Congress to join the BJP, and Channi.
Bittu, the Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries, countered by making certain personal remarks against Channi and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, triggering an uproar.
BJP member Sandhya Ray, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings for 30 minutes till 2 pm.
