India, Feb. 4 -- The demand for setting up a National Law University in Jammu echoed in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, with BJP MLAs staging protests over the issue.

As soon as Question Hour began, BJP MLAs stood up and protested, demanding a Law University for Jammu.

"The students are on the streets in Jammu seeking a National Law University; there is anguish among the people. We are not against setting up the Law University, but you should also establish one in Jammu," said BJP MLA Slathia.

Slathia was supported by other BJP MLAs, who carried placards in support of the demand.

Congress MLA Nizamuddin Bhat questioned the BJP for carrying placards inside the House, saying it violated the decorum of the Assembly.
