Following the first-ever townhall address to the nation by an Indian prime minister on Saturday, PM Narendra Modi took to Twitter to highlight some views expressed earlier in the day, specifically those dealing with the recent violence inflicted by Gau Rakshaks in the name of cow worship. The prime minister in a series of tweets said, "The sacred practice of cow worship and the compassion of Gau Seva can’t be misused by some miscreants posing as Gau Rakshaks," adding that, the "misdeeds" of some people posing as cow vigilantes are "doing a great disservice to the noble deed" of cow worship practiced by Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave. Communicating in stern terms, as he did earlier in the day, PM Modi said, "There is absolutely no need for anyone to take the law in his or her hands and disturb the spirit of harmony and togetherness."
