Almost all Opposition members created ruckus in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, now in its budget session in Jammu, and staged a walkout over not being included in the list of dignitaries authorised to use red beacons on vehicles. They later sat on dharna at the Assembly. Amid noisy scenes, Speaker Mubarak Gul adjourned the House. Earlier, he as well as finance minister Abdur Rahim Rather had tried to persuade the agitating MLAs by telling them that the state Cabinet has given approval to the use of red beacons as per the guidelines and orders of the Supreme Court.
