India’s prime minister has strongly condemned a recent spate of attacks on Muslims in India, speaking out against the violence just a day after thousands participated in nationwide gatherings to protest recent mob killings.
The remarks are the first direct comments Narendra Modi has made on the issue of so-called "cow vigilantism" since a renewed surge in violence against Muslims for transporting cattle, or allegedly eating or carrying beef. Many Hindus revere cows and most Indian states have enacted laws protecting them.
