Under attack over atrocities against Dalits, the Centre, on Monday, appealed to all the state governments to take strict action against anti-social elements indulging in violent activities in the name of cow protection as it pitched for a united fight against the “perverted mindset”.
In his reply to the issue of violence against Dalits in the name of cow vigilantism, Home Minister, Rajnath Singh told the Lok Sabha that “some anti-social elements are indulging in nefarious activites in the name of cow protection.”
Displeased with his reply, the Congress and the Left members who alleged that the incidents of atrocities against Dalits have increased since the NDA came to power two years back, staged a walk out.
