“We are a land of non violence. We are the land of Mahatma Gandhi. Why do we forget that. Killing people in the name of Gau Bhakti is not acceptable. This is not something Mahatma Gandhi would approve,” said Modi who is on a two-day visit of Gujarat.
“Violence never has and never will solve any problem. No person has the right to take the law in his or her own hands in this country,” he added.
