The controversy over offensive caricatures continues all over the world. India simmered again on Friday. So the 'fatwa' has come from Meerut in the ongoing controversy over the offensive caricatures.
Haji Yaqub, who is a minister in the Uttar Pradesh government, today announced a reward of Rs 51 crore to the person who would eliminate the cartoonist. The amount roughly translates at around $10 million or Rs 500 million.
Addressing a huge rally in Meerut after the Friday prayers Haji Yaqub Qureshi said that the person who will perform this task will be weighed in gold.
Will this controversy end? I thing there have been enough protests and there much more serious things the Muslims need to think of.

The minister has done it for publicity but all Muslims would be blamed.
wow, they have that kinda money to give out?!
It is about making announcements and getting popularity....after all who is going to Denmark? Will Yaqub ever think of going!
Cheap publicity stunt ...dont u think so ...I mean talkign something practical like apology or something .... a murder he gotts be more forgiving and non violent as Islam is(i've heard it from many people ...such people bring fanaticism n bad name to religions!
Of course publicity stunt....agree with you. In fact, it is Mulayam Singh Yadav's politics.
He has so much money and yet travels ticketless in the train. What a fool !
