'People reacting to cow killings'

ALLAHABAD: In an apparent defence of cow vigilantism and mob lynching incidents across the country, BJP leader Vinay Katiyar on Tuesday said Muslims should respect the sentiments of Hindus and added that if cows are killed, people will react. "Gau mata (cow) is the epitome of faith and devotion for Hindus and they will not tolerate its killing.
There have been mob lynching incidents in reaction to cow slaughter as people have become aware about the issue," Katiyar said on the Alwar mob lynching incident.
