Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday came down heavily on 'cow vigilantism', saying the overwhelming majority of 'gau rakshaks' were actually antisocials engaged in dubious activities, who have proclaimed themselves to be protectors of cows to cover up their misdeeds.

"I get so angry," Modi said as he seized upon a question on volunteerism at a townhall-type event to launch his attack on 'gau rakshaks'. "Kabhi kabhi ye jo gau raksha ke naam par kuch log apni dukaane khol kar baith gaye hain, mujhey itna gussa ata hai (Some people have been running a business the name of gau raksha. I feel so angry)," he said, distancing his party and government from growing instances of vigilantism.

"I have seen that some people who indulge in antisocial activities through the night put on robes of gau rakshaks by day," the PM said in the strongest comments by any saffron leader on cow vigilantism, seen to have been instigated and encouraged by BJP's assertive "beef ban" campaigns with Muslims and Dalits often being the targets of violence.

"I appeal to state governments to prepare dossiers on these swayam sevis. Some 70-80% will turn out to be engaged in dubious activities not acceptable to the society. Apni buraiyon se bachne ke liye ye gau raksha ka chola pehente hain (They don the robes of gau rakshaks to protect themselves from being punished for misdeeds)."

In a put down for cow protection campaigners, Modi said people will be surprised to know that most cows die of eating plastic rather than slaughter. "If those who want to give service to cows only prevent cows from eating plastic and stop people from (throwing) plastic, it will be a significant gau sewa," the PM said.
