JAMMU:  Jammu and Kashmir assembly was adjourned for half an hour on Friday as a pandemonium broke out soon after the budget session resumed after a five-week recess.

Members from both the treasury and the opposition benches stood up, raising slogans and disrupting the Question Hour despite Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather repeatedly asking the legislators to take their seats.

While MLAs of the ruling National Conference, Congress, CPI(M), Independents and the opposition PDP raised slogans against Israel and condemned the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the BJP members held placards to press for a National Law University in Jammu.
