Mob violence has claimed over 66 lives across the country since 2015.
On 20 July, 31-year-old Rakbar Khan was killed by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan’s Alwar. Recounting the string of horrific instances of lynching – from Akhlaq in Dadri to Pehlu Khan in Alwar – Swami Agnivesh demanded to know why PM Modi was silent on the violence.
After Pehlu Khan, now 31-year-old Rakbar Khan has been killed in Alwar. I would request the media to show the visuals of his family to the world. How can someone kill him like that? And PM Modi is silent? Isn’t he ashamed?

The Prime Minister has time to make speeches and communicate via his radio programme, Mann Ki Baat, the activist said, adding: “Why isn’t he speaking on the issue of lynchings?"Mann ki Baat
