Led by the former chief minister Omar Abdullah, the protesters included senior leaders Ali Muhammad Sagar, Mubarak Gul and others.
On Tuesday, Kaloo and Larni were suspended for disrupting the proceedings of the Lower House after the Speaker refused to allow discussion on Article 35A that upholds special status of permanent residents of J&K. (KNS)
