Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 13 (IBNS): The Kerala Assembly on Friday witnessed unruly scenes as state Finance Minister KM Mani tabled the state Budget amid high protests.

CPM-led Left Democratic Front MLAs were seen throwing away the Speakers's Chair while attempting to break the same.
 
Four LDF MLAs were injured in the incident.
 
However, the Opposition continued with their protests.
 
Mani and the Speaker were reportedly given a separate spot in the Assembly which is being heavily guarded.
 
Opposition leaders also rushed to the well of the House refusing to allow Mani from presenting the Budget.

Protests also erupted outside the Kerala Assembly.
