              Jammu: 
              Opposition parties Thursday held noisy protests in the legislative 
              assembly against the sixth report of interlocutors on Jammu and 
              Kashmir that has recommended restoration of autonomy to the state. 
               
              The Bharatiya Janata Party, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers 
              Party and Jammu State Morcha members started the protest soon 
              after question hour ended, saying that the interlocutors had 
              violated terms of their reference. 
               
              The three interlocutors, Dileep Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and M.M. 
              Ansari, in their report to union Home Minister P. Chidamabaram 
              Wednesday, reportedly recommended restoration of autonomy to Jammu 
              and Kashmir, the status it enjoyed pre-1953 when it had control 
              over all affairs barring defence, communications and external 
              affairs. 
               
              Jammu Kashmir National Panthers Party leader Harshdev Singh 
              alleged that the "interlocutors have made recommendations which 
              are not acceptable to most of the people", and said that the 
              "centre should reject the report". 
               
              Greater autonomy, the plank of the ruling National Conference, is 
              opposed by the people in Jammu and Ladakh regions of Jammu and 
              Kashmir. 
               
              National Conference members termed the report as a "reflection of 
              sentiments of the people".
