His words have come very late in the day. He spoke on the subject nearly a year after a man was lynched near Delhi on the mere suspicion of having consumed beef. Subsequently, four Dalits were brutally flogged by so-called cow protectors in Gujarat.
Of course, the Prime Minister did not make any specific reference to either of these incidents of atrocity.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 7 August 2016.
The Prime Minister said that there are people who indulge in anti-social and criminal activities at night and disguise themselves as cow protectors by day.... he wants the state governments to collect the history of such people and prepare dossiers on them because 70 to 80 per cent of them are anti-social elements.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad national secretary and spokesperson, Surendra Jain, responding to Modi's comments have said that - the percentage of anti-social elements mentioned by Modi is disputable.
The timing of Prime Minister's anger is significant because of the revelations on the latest atrocities on cows in Rajasthan where more than 1500 cows died within last two months - the matter has earned condemnation from all quarters.
