Military veterans write to the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, condemning attacks on Muslims and Dalits.

More than 100 officers, who had retired from the Army, Air-force and Navy have written a letter to Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, condemning the attacks on Dalits and Muslims, in the name of protecting cows. In the letter they have stated that, they were witness to unprecedented attacks on society at large by the relentless vigilantism of self appointed protectors of Hinduism. Muslims and Dalits have been the worst hit by cow vigilantism, they have stated. The letter has also expressed concern over the climate of fear and suppression of dissent. It is very significant that more than 100 retired officers of the armed forces, who may be belonging to different religions, have raised their voice against the killings that are taking place in the name of “cow vigilantism”.
