JAMMU, Mar 5: Pandemonium gripped the Legislative Assembly during Zero Hour today with People’s Democratic Party (PDP) MLAs storming to the Well of the House for not being allowed to raise the issues concerning the common masses and members of other Opposition parties holding protest on different issues before staging walk-out. There was also a verbal spat between Speaker and PDP MLA Nizamuddin Bhat. As soon as Zero Hour began, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Nagrota, Jugal Kishore raised the issue of Custodian Department property and demanded that the occupants of the property must be given ownership rights.
