New Delhi: 'Gau rakshaks' and many right-wing organisations across the country have hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his comments against cow vigilantism, with the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) even thinking of sending him a legal notice.

The ABHM protested against the Prime Minister's comment that 80% of those "masquerading" as 'gau rakshaks' were anti-socials by night.

"Narendra Modi is not worthy of being Prime Minster. He will return just like Vajpayee had to in 2004. Hindu Mahasabha is holding Buddhi Shuddhi Yaga across India to give better sense to the PM," ABHM, national president Chandraprakash Kaushik told CNN-News18.

Kaushik said the organisation was in touch with its legal team whether they can send PM a legal notice or not.

ABHM chief Swami Chakrapani, said, "We condemn the Prime Minister's statement on those who devoted their life to preventing cow slaughter in India."

A Gau Raksha Dal (Cow Protection Group) in Mysuru wrote to the PM demanding a central anti-cow slaughter act and to impose stricter punishment for those flouting the ban.

Modi's statement was backed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) saying no one should take law in their hands in the name of cow protection and states should act against such miscreants.

The PM had hit out against cow vigilantes in his interaction at the MyGov Town Hall on Saturday and at a speech at Telangana's Medak district the next day.

"Fake gau rakshaks have nothing to do with cows. They want to create tension in society. If you go through their antecedents, you will find 80% Gau Raksha Dal have a criminal background," Modi said.

They also demanded that PM Modi implement a central anti-cow slaughter act to protect cows across the country.
