BJP MLA from Nawshere assembly constituency Ravinder Raina has moved a resolution in the assembly in which he has asked for a complete ban on cow slaughter and sale of beef as per the directions passed by the High court of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Those who are found guilty should be awarded capital punishment" the resolution read.
J&K High court had on Wednesday given a week's time to the state government to file its response to a writ petition seeking to strike down the Constitutional provisions criminalising bovine slaughter in the state.
