New Delhi: Prime Minister NarendraModi has said that killing of people in the name of cow protection is not acceptable.

Delivering a speech to mark the centenary of the Sabarmati ashram in Ahmedabad and 150th birth anniversary of ShrimadRajchandraji, a guru to Mahatma Gandhi, the PM said unleashing violence against others went against the ideals of the Father of the Nation.

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

"Let's all work together. Let's create the India of Mahatma Gandhi's dreams. Let's create an India our freedom fighters would be proud of," the prime minister said. "No person in this nation has the right to take the law in his or her own hands. Violence never has and never will solve any problem. As a society, there is no place for violence," PM Modi said in his address. PM NarendraModi called for further academic research on the life and thoughts of ShrimadRajchandraji. PM also released commemorative coin and stamp on Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual guru, ShrimadRajchandraji. Prime Minister NarendraModi is on a two day visit to Gujarat. He also inaugurated a special exhibition organised at National Archives on the occasion. The PM paid floral tributes to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi and also spinned the cotton at HridayKunj, the residence of Mahatma Gandhi in the ashram. He will also hold a road show in Rajkot this evening.
