JAMMU, Sept 30: Legislative Assembly Speaker Kavinder Gupta today rejected Resolutions moved by two BJP MLAs-Ravinder Raina and Rajiv Jasrotia proposing death penalty for sale of beef and strict enforcement of the High Court order on beef ban.
The Resolutions were rejected as the beef ban was matter of sub judice pending before the Supreme Court.
