Basti: Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Minister Satish Dwivedi condemned the filing of FIR against a journalist who made a video of serving ‘namak-roti’ (salt and bread) to children as mid-day meal and said that he would initiate a probe in this regard.
Speaking on the issue, Dwivedi told reporters on Monday: “We’ll initiate a probe after having complete information from our department and Mirzapur’s police officer”.
There should be no action for revealing corruption or any such fact, the minister said, adding that I would only be able to tell you anything after asking for a report from the police officer about the incident.
“We took a departmental action in the incident. But, first, we’ll see the grounds of police action. Whether the action was taken in the same matter or any other matter, I would only be able to tell you after asking from them,” he said. (IANS)
