March 12, 2013 15:09

Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was today adjourned thrice as pandemonium broke out after Opposition members created unruly scenes over Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde' statement that the body of Afzal Guru will not be returned to his family.

The House proceedings were marred by unruly scenes, sloganeering and high-pitched verbal duel by the entire Opposition over Shinde's statment.

Shinde had yesterday ruled out handing over of the body of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru to his family in Kashmir and said "the body has been buried according the jail manual and there was no way it could be handed over."
