New Delhi :
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today had to take to Twitter to quell strong reaction against his comments on Gau Rakshak Community. Tweeting late in the night, PM Modi said that 'there is absolutely no need for anyone to take the law in his or her hands & disturb the spirit of harmony & togetherness'.
Modi's tweet comes after irked cow vigilantes lashed out at Prime Minister for calling 80 per cent of them hooligans and anti-social in his 'Townhall' address today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is being lampooned by the ‘Gau Rakshak’ community on Twitter.
In his first comments on the violence against Dalits by cow vigilantes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today strongly rebuked them, saying most of them are “anti-social” elements who are running “shops” in the name of cow protection which makes him “angry”.
He asked state governments to prepare “dossiers” on the so-called cow protectors as 80 per cent of them do illegal activities at night and become cow protectors in the day, asserting that running such help groups does not mean harassing others.
Tweeting under the trending topic #गरà¥à¤µ_से_कहो_गौरकà¥à¤·à¤•_है (Proud to be cow vigilante), several people are calling PM out for his statement against the community.
There is nothing wrong in being a #GauRakshaks...unless you cross the line of humanity! #गरà¥à¤µ_से_कहो_गौरकà¥à¤·à¤•_है

The strong reactions from his usual followers forced the Prime Minister to tweet his repsonse late in the night.
The sacred practice of cow worship & the compassion of Gau Seva can’t be misused by some miscreants posing as Gau Rakshaks.

Misdeeds of some, posing as Gau Rakshaks are doing a great disservice to the noble deed of Gau Seva, as practiced by Bapu & Vinoba Bhave.
