Killing in the name of gau raksha must stop: Mamata

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said that killing in the name of 'gau raksha' must stop and just words were not enough.

Mamata Banerjee on her twitter said that her party condemns the killings in name of gau raksha and said it must stop.

Her tweet came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement in Ahmedabad that killing of people in the name of cow protection is not acceptable.

"Killing people in the name of 'gau bhakti' is not acceptable. This is not something Mahatma Gandhi would approve," he said.

"No person in this nation has the right to take the law in his or her own hands," he said.
