As a part of the second anniversary celebration of the MyGov portal for citizen-government interaction, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a "townhall" meeting on Saturday.
MyGov as of now has 35.2 lakh registered members, 33.9 lakh comments in 589 discussion themes and around 1.82 lakh submissions in 489 tasks.
Mr. Modi interacted with around 2,000 people in the townhall for which the audience has been selected from among the regular users of MyGov platform, who have pitched 'quality suggestions' for various government programmes.
| On cow vigitilantes, he said most of them are “anti-social” elements who are running “shops” in the name of cow protection. “It makes me angry that people are running shops in the name of cow protection. Most of them are anti-social elements hiding behind the mask of cow protection." “I will ask state governments to prepare a dossier on such people as 80 per cent of them will be found to be involved in anti-social activities which no society will approve of,” he said. Noting that more cows die from consuming plastics than are slaughtered, he said those who want to serve the animal should rather work towards stopping cows from eating plastics as that will be a bigger service. |
