A video has surfaced that shows Fonadhoo MP Abdul Raheem Abdulla yelling and pushing away a fellow party lawmaker, inside the parliament building.
In the video, Abdul Raheem, the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM)’s deputy leader, is seen yelling at the party's parliamentary group (PG) deputy leader before grabbing hold of Nihan Hussain Manik and throwing him away when he tried to intervene.
It is unclear what was being said but a woman is heard yelling in the background and other MPs were seen trying to calm down Abdul Raheem.

MP Abdul Raheem, who is known to act hostile and aggressive inside the parliament chamber, has recently announced that he is vying for the position of speaker.
