The Minister for Minority Welfare and Haj in the Mulayam Singh Yadav government, Haji Yaqoob Qureishi, has announced a cash reward of Rs 51 crore (US $12 million) for anyone who beheads the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Prophet Mohammad.
State govt's reaction :
When contacted, UP Principal Secretary, Home, Alok Sinha told The Indian Express: The ministers reaction was the voice of someone whose religious sentiments have been hurt. Moreover, since the reference was to a person who is far off, there is no question of an FIR being lodged against the minister.

However, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board member and Naib Imam of Aishbagh Idgah, Maulana Khalid Rasheed Firangi Mahali, criticised the
Ministers call for the killing of the cartoonist.
