On Monday, the Assembly had turned into a wrestling ring that resulted into injuries to a lawmaker and Marshal. Also many NC and Congress leaders raised banners, climbed chairs and tables.

In both the sessions, Opposition leaders raised much important question of the beef ban. NC members with opposition leader Omar Abdullah questioned PDP-BJP government as to why they approached the Supreme Court, if the legislature had ample powers to scrap the 1932 provision in the Ranbir Penal Code prohibiting cow slaughter.
