Indian MPs jeered on visit to violence-hit Kashmir town


A delegation led by the Indian home minister has visited a town at the centre of recent violence in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Some members were heckled by protesters as they visited a hospital in Srinagar, prompting police to move in to clear the area.
The delegation faced hostile questions from people in the town of Tangmarg.
The home minister is leading the all-party delegation to assess the causes of recent violence in Kashmir.
Six people were killed in the town last week in violence triggered by reports that the Koran had been desecrated in the US and by anti-India resentment.
