Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, today called for an investigation by the country's top anti-terror agency NIA after white powder later identified as an explosive was found in the state assembly. "It is apparent that there has been mischief and such people should be exposed," he said in the assembly. 

 Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath appealed to MLA's to not carry mobile phones in the assembly after security breach. "People have been reduced to mischief. Whoever is behind this will be dealt with strongly," Yogi Adityanath said, calling it a matter of the "sentiment of 22 crore people" of the state.

 "In an assembly where we should discuss issues of development, we are forced to discuss our own security." He also urged a series of security measures for the country's largest assembly, which included a ban on mobile phones in the house.

 "During proceedings, lawmakers should keep mobiles on silent mode as the noise breaks the gravity of discussions. People should get their notebooks and jot down points. There should be an arrangement where bags and mobile phones are kept outside the house," he said.

 He also called for Quick Reaction Teams at every gate and a complete ban on entry into the assembly building without passes. Rajendra Chaudhary of the Samajwadi Party said: "If this is the state of affairs that inside the assembly something life this is found, then you can understand the situation of law and order in UP."

 Apparently responding to the criticism, the Chief Minister said: "Everyone blames each other. We should all cooperate and work together as it is linked to your security.
