New video has been shared of an incident between Manitoba cabinet minister Obby Khan and Opposition NDP Leader Wab Kinew, two weeks after Khan accused Kinew of swearing at him and shoving him at a public event inside the legislature.
On April 13, Khan, who is the minister of sport, culture and heritage, said the incident happened during a ceremony marking Turban Day, a commemoration of Sikh and Punjabi cultures.
Later, Kinew denied the accusation, but did note there was a "tense verbal exchange."
"The leader of the Opposition pulled me in and said, 'You piece of s---. How dare you politicize this f---ing event. What you did is f---ing wrong,"' Khan told the legislature chamber later that afternoon.
"I said, 'You should not have said these partisan things.' (Khan) comes back at me and he says, 'You have no class,"' Kinew said.
"My colleague (NDP MLA Mintu Sandhu) was beginning to speak, and so I turned and said we should listen," Kinew continued.
"At no time was there any swearing. At no time was there any name calling. And the interaction was of words exchanged, albeit tensely, over a handshake."
