PM Modi said, “No one is allowed to take law and order into their own hands”.
“PM Modi has asked the states to take strict action against those violating law in the name of cow protection. No person or group can be allowed to take the law into their own hands” said Union Minister Ananth Kumar on behalf of PM Modi.
“There is a law on cow protection in the country, but committing crimes in the name of cow protection is completely unacceptable” he added while addressing the media.
He also alleged that some political parties are politicising the issue of cow vigilantism which is in bad taste to the secularism of the country.
