- The Kashmir Legislative Assembly budget session resumed Friday after a five-week recess, descending into chaos as members from opposing benches raised competing slogans, prompting Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather to adjourn the House for half an hour.
- BJP members held placards inside the House demanding a National Law University in Jammu, while the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha organized a 'Secretariat Chalo' protest outside to press the same demand.
- Countering the protests, National Conference leader Tanvir Sadiq displayed a photograph of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatullah Khamenei, while Treasury members and Congress raised anti-Israel slogans including 'Vande Mataram' to 'Israel murdabad.'
- Chief Minister Omar Abdullah maintained the proposed National Law University location remains undecided, asking for the issue 'not to be politicised' to de-escalate tensions over the competing demands.
- The budget session concludes April 4, with March 30 and April 1 earmarked for private members' bills and March 31 and April 2 reserved for private members' resolutions, though observers warn the NLU dispute could become a significant future flashpoint.
