MLA Masood threatened the government and said that if the Chief Minister's position is not positive then what is the point of staying in such a party? He demanded the state government to immediately dismiss this gazette. Masood said that the NPR Gazette has been issued incorrectly in the state. The government did not properly understand the responsibility of the people of its state. NPR is only a small part of NRC. On the other hand, State Law Minister PC Sharma says that Madhya Pradesh has neither implemented NPR nor will it be implemented. The gazette that is being told is of 9 December. State Congress also issued a statement saying that NPR should not be implemented.
