New Delhi, July 16 (IBNS): In a major step, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the state government should take strict action against cow vigilantes.

"Maintaining law and order is the responsibility of State Governments and wherever these incidents are taking place, state Governments must deal firmly with it. The State Governments must also see to it that in the name of cow protection some people are settling their personal rivalry," Modi said.

He said all parties should condemn  'goondaism' in the name of cow protection.

Directing state governments over the issue, Modi said: "State Governments must deal sternly against such anti-social elements."

He said: "Some anti social elements have incited violence in the name of cow protection. Those engaged in disturbing the harmony in the country are trying to take advantage of the situation."

Modi said the words while he attended the  All Party Meeting here ahead of the start of the Parliament Session.
