This is not something Mahatma Gandhi would approve,” he had said. “Let’s all work together. Let’s create the India of Mahatma Gandhi’s dreams. Let’s create an India our freedom fighters would be proud of,” the prime minister had said. “No person in this nation has the right to take the law in his or her own hands,” he had said. The prime minister’s remarks came against the backdrop of growing incidents of cow vigilantism. With inputs from PTI
