<h1>Karnataka Assembly Approves Budget and Salary Hike for MLAs Amid Protests Over Muslim Quota and 'Honey Trap' Incident.</h1> The Karnataka Assembly passed the state budget and a proposal to increase the salaries, pensions, and allowances of MLAs, ministers, and the Chief Minister amid significant protests from BJP members. The BJP legislators disrupted proceedings by climbing onto the Speaker's podium and throwing papers, prompting the Chief Minister and ministers to order their eviction. The protests were fueled by opposition to a four percent reservation for Muslims in public contracts and demands for a judicial probe into an alleged 'honey trap' incident involving a minister. Despite the chaos, the budget and salary proposals were approved.
