Pandemonium continued in the assembly till the PDP legislators were taken out of the house.

Before the assembly security staff led them out, the PDP legislators gathered near the speaker's podium and Mehbooba Mufti even tried to fling a microphone at the speaker.

'The government is trying to protect the killers involved in the Shopian rape and murder case,' she told reporters outside the assembly.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and National Panthers Party legislators also protested in the house, demanding the allotment of a proposed central university to the Jammu region.
