Overview
- NC legislators, joined by some CPI(M), PDP and Independent members, chanted pro‑Iran and anti‑US slogans inside the House, prompting police to step in and a brief adjournment.
- Members displayed a portrait of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as NC’s Tanvir Sadiq said the party stood with Iran and urged national leaders to condemn Khamenei’s killing.
- BJP legislators opposed the display, and Times of India reported a scuffle between Congress MLA Irfan Hafiz Lone and BJP MLA Yudvir Sethi inside the chamber.
- Outside the complex, BJP supporters marched toward the Civil Secretariat in Jammu, accusing the NC‑led government of raising petrol by Rs 1 and diesel by Rs 2 per litre and pressing for a National Law University in the region.
- NC framed the protest as a response to the reported killing of Khamenei in US‑Israel strikes in late February, echoing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s earlier condemnation of those attacks.
