Jammu and Kashmir Assembly began its eight-day autumn session in Srinagar on Saturday with the House paying homage to former President A P J Abdul Kalam and those who lost their lives in the Haj stampede in Mecca.
The House saw slight disturbance when independent MLA Sheikh Abdul Rashid got up from his seat and raised a demand for revocation of ban on beef.
As soon as the House began the proceedings, Rashid raised a banner which read there should be no interference in religious affairs.
He also raised the issue of the lynching of a man by a mob in Uttar Pradesh on rumours that the family had consumed beef.
"Why is not the prime minister raising his voice against the killing?" Rashid asked and then staged a walkout from the House.
