Union Minister of Food Processing Industries Chirag Paswan, along with Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Minister of State in the Education Department, Jayant Chaudhary, have expressed dissatisfaction over communal statements made by the Uttar Pradesh police.

Their displeasure led them to escalate their concerns to the senior NDA leaders.

According to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, both Paswan and Chaudhary took the initiative to address the situation by holding discussions with senior NDA leaders. This meeting is believed to have occurred earlier in the week in Delhi, where the two leaders also engaged with top-ranking officials of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

During these discussions, they reportedly presented a detailed account of the issue to the party's leadership, highlighting the seriousness of the situation and its potential consequences.

Their proactive stance underscores the significant concern surrounding the communal nature of the police statements, indicating possible wider political and social repercussions.
