Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Sharad Yadav on Tuesday said lynching of a dairy farmer by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan was “unfortunate” and criticised the Centre for failing to control the menace.
“Government is unable to control cow vigilantes as again one Ummar (Khan) has been killed in Alwar while transporting cows and calves,” Sharad Yadav said in his tweet.
He said it is “unfortunate that such incidents are increasing” and added that the “farming community is also being affected badly” by this “inhuman” act.
