The members of NC Ali Mohammed Sagar, CPIM MLA M Y Tarigami and Congress Member Usman Majid condemned the attack.
Angry over the anti-Pakistan slogans by BJP members, NC member Mohammad Akbar Lone raised pro-Pak slogans triggering protests against him.
In between, Assembly Speaker Kavinder Gupta made some remarks triggering high pitched protests from the entire opposition.
Amidst the din, accusations and counter-accusations were made by the treasury and opposition benches leading to heated arguments and contentious remarks by some members.
The speaker adjourned the Assembly for 15 minutes after opposition legislators created unruly scenes against his statement.
As the House resumed, the members of Opposition demanded that remarks ber expunged.
The House unanimously urged the members to desist from making contentious statements on sensitive issues. The House also agreed that such disagreeable statements should not go in the public domain through any medium in the larger public interest.
