"Murders happen every day in Uttar Pradesh, will Prime Minister call up everyone?" asked Union Minister of State for Agriculture and a lawmaker from Muzaffarnagar, Sanjeev Balyan, on PM's silence on the Dadri killing. He added that "the incident is unfortunate, but if you ask for Prime Minister's reaction on every incident, he will be giving reactions 24 hours a day." Author Tavleen Singh, who calls herself a "supporter of PM Modi", said that in this case, Prime Minister "needs to not just speak but speak loudly and clearly to his partymen about what his views are on this subject".
