Jammu, Mar 27 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators on Friday staged a protest inside the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, demanding the establishment of a National Law University (NLU) in Jammu, as the second phase of the Budget Session commenced.
The MLAs raised slogans and held placards inside the House, seeking clarity from the government on the proposed location of the university. They said Jammu has long been deprived of premier educational institutions and demanded an immediate decision.
The protest briefly disrupted normal proceedings at the start of business.
The second leg of the Assembly’s Budget session began amid heightened political activity, with opposition parties expected to raise issues such as poll promises, regional concerns and the restoration of statehood.
Officials said the session will have four sittings in March and five in April. (KNS)
