I saw it. There has been talk of getting this person arrested for inciting murder. The section of the Indian Penal Code which allows for this is as follows:

Whoever intentionally insults, and thereby gives provocation to any person, intending or knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause him to break the public peace, or to commit any other. offence, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.

Behead Danish cartoonist, get Rs 51 crore, says UP minister

Lucknow, February 17
Adding a new dimension to the anti-Denmark protests, an Uttar Pradesh minister today declared a cash reward of Rs 51 crore for the person who would behead the Danish cartoonist who drew the controversial cartoons of Prophet Mohammad.

Minister for Minority Affairs and Haj, Haji Mohammad Yaqoob speaking at a massive public rally, organised at the Faizan Inter College in his constituency Meerut, made the declaration on behalf of the people of the city. The person who did the deed would also be weighed in gold, said the minister.

Urging the Centre to break off diplomatic relations with Denmark, Haji Yaqoob did not even spare the US for its reported connivance in spearheading a worldwide anti-Islam campaign.

Strongly condemning the minister’s statement, a member of the All-India Muslim Personal Board and Naib Imam of the Eidgah Masjid Maulana Khalid Rashid said the statement was anti-Islamic as it was against the basic teaching of Islam.

Lodging his protest against Haji Yaqoob’s statement, Maulana Khalid Rashid asserted that the statement reportedly made on behalf of the people was unfair to the Muslims of Meerut as it projected them as a bunch of intolerant fanatics baying for blood.

According to Home Secretary Alok Sinha, the statement was not a violation of any law and did not demand any action against the minister. This is a very sensitive matter and he was expressing the peoples’ sentiment, Sinha said.

Meanwhile, there was widespread protest demonstrations against the cartoons in several districts, including Bulandshahr, Mau, Etah, Jaunpur, Bahraich, Muzzafarnagar and Meerut.

Rs 51-cr toon bounty sparks row

LUCKNOW: In a shocking demand, UP cabinet minister and senior Samajwadi Party leader Mohammed Yaqoob Qureshi on Friday called for the beheading of the cartoonist who had sketched Prophet Mohammed for a Danish newspaper and announced that he would give "the avenger" Rs 51 crore and weigh him in gold.

And pre-empting the question about where he’d get the money, the minister for Haj told a protest rally in Meerut that the money would be collected from the people of Meerut and that Muslim women were ready to sell their gold ornaments to "reward" any would-be assassin.

Yaqoob’s public statement sent ripples through Lucknow and Samajwadi Party as well as Muslim leaders moved to distance themselves from it. But the state government refused to say whether it planned any action for what was clearly an invitation for a contract killing in a foreign land. Muslim leaders in Lucknow said Yaqoob’s appeared to be cheap gimmick.

Strangely, chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav was not ready to comment on Yaqoob’s outrageous demand, and Samajwadi Party was cautious not to be seen as dismissive of Yaqoob. Party leaders, speaking off the record, said the minister was probably just responding to a charged atmosphere. SP general secretary Amar Singh said, "I would exercise my restraint in giving any reaction because it may have far-reaching implications."

Addressing a crowd of over 25,000 that had gathered at Meerut’s Sadar Ground after Friday prayers to protest against portrayal of the Prophet in Danish cartoons, a visibly excited Yaqoob declared that whosoever would get him the head of the Danish cartoonist would be rewarded.

"Whosoever it is, be it a Pakistani, an Iraqi or an American," Yaqoob said. A moment later he added, "The money will be paid by the people of Meerut."
