While speaking to reporters at Prayagraj, Dubey said: "When celebrities and VIPs are not safe in this country, then what will happen to the normal people. Earlier, there was firing outside Salman Khan's residence, then Baba Siddique was murdered and now Saif Ali Khan has been stabbed. Is there any law and order or not in Mumbai? Devendra Fadnavis should take cognizance of this matter. It is an unfortunate incident."
