PM Modi warns cow vigilantes, asks state-governments for strict action
Sending out a strong message to cow vigilantes, PM Modi said that violence in the name of cow protection would not be tolerated. Ahead of Parliament's monsoon session, the PM held an all-party meeting and told MPs to act strictly against those committing violence in the name of cows. He said that law and order is the state subject and shouldn't be played with.

To prove the opposition wrong, PM Modi must take action rather than just mere talks; a survey too showed that 97% of cow-related violence have taken place in BJP's regime.
