Major Jammu-based opposition parties today staged a walkout from the state Assembly over the issue of delimitation of seats in Jammu and Kashmir.
As the Assembly commenced today, members of BJP, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) and Jammu State Morcha (JSM) alleged discrimination with Jammu region in delimitation of Assembly segments and demanded a reply from the government.
However, some members of PDP and NC contested their allegations of discrimination.

Speaking to the reporters later, BJP member Ashok Khajuria alleged that there was a discrimination with Jammu region in terms of delimitation of Assembly segments.
