The confrontation unfolded during Question Hour after opposition members referred to the minister's recent remarks warning officials of strict action for non-performance, invoking an allegory from the Ramayana about an unfailing arrow. Responding in the House, Sharma said, "That arrow is unfailing and has already been released, which is why several of you (opposition members) are out. If you want to be saved, come to this side and Khannaji (the parliamentary affairs minister) might save you."
