Meerut/Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Minister for Haj and Minority Welfare Haji Mohammed Yaqoob announced a reward of Rs. 51 crore on Friday for beheading the Danish cartoonist who had lampooned Prophet Muhammad. "Any person who chops off the head of the cartoonist from Denmark who dared to make a caricature of Muhammad Sahib and bring it to me shall be rewarded Rs. 51 crore in cash and given gold equivalent to his weight," he told a gathering at the Inter-College grounds here after Friday prayers. Protesters burnt an effigy of the cartoonist and courted arrest, demanding that India sever diplomatic ties with Denmark. The State Government said it was not contemplating any action against Mr. Yaqoob for the inflammatory speech. Home Secretary Alok Sinha told reporters that it was "no offence to make such an announcement against someone living in a distant country." — PTI
