Saying that Hindustan has turned into "lynchistan", CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat today said even after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's warning against taking law in the hands in the name of cow protection, the vigilante groups are having a free run in the country.

"Hindustan has turned into "Lynchistan" where "unbridled cow vigilantes are killing people unabatedly," Karat told reporters here.

"Christians, Muslims and Dalits are being attacked under a conspiracy," said CPI(M)'s Polit Bureau member Karat.
