Anti-socialists running shops in name of cow protection: PM Modi

New Delhi: While addressing the gathering at the first ever 'Townhall' style event in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made it clear that he was enraged at people running business in the name of cow safety.

Modi has asked the state governments to prepare a dossier of all such people.

What Narendra Modi said?

• People indulge in anti-social activities in the night and chant for ‘cow protection’ in day
• Few people are self-styled “gau rakshaks” and some are really concerned
• Narendra Modi said that more cows die by consuming plastic than by slaughtering
• Campaigning against the use of plastics will be a big service to the welfare of cow
