Pot calling the Kettle Black

Labour MP Anglu Farrugia is an expert in violent criminal matters. So we do not understand why we get a giggling fit when we read the following article in the Times. Look out for a comment by Daphne Caruana Galizia on this matter. Definitely.
from today's Times:
Minister 'physically attacks' man, 76
Labour MP Anglu Farrugia yesterday demanded that the police investigate an incident in which, he said, Rural Affairs Minister George Pullicino physically attacked the president of the Progressive Farmers' Cooperative, Joe Farrugia.
Dr Farrugia said in an adjournment speech in Parliament that the incident happened outside the facility where the crates of the Ta' Qali vegetable market are washed.
He said the minister had been shouting at the workers and when Mr Farrugia, 76, asked him to stop, the minister shouted that that was not the way to speak to a minister. He then grabbed Mr Farrugia from the back and neck, shook him "and could have killed him."
The incident happened in the presence of four people, and Dr Farrugia said he was therefore insisting that Police Commissioner John Rizzo should immediately investigate and arraign Mr Pullicino to face criminal charges.
It was shameful that the minister had acted in this way simply because an elderly man had told him that if he was going to continue to shout, he was stupid (cuc). Ministerial arrogance had exceeded all limits, Dr Farrugia said.
