On May 15, 2025, the Supreme Court strongly rebuked Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah for calling Indian Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi a “sister of terrorists” amid Operation Sindoor. The minister’s comments drew widespread outrage, prompting the Madhya Pradesh High Court to order an FIR under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita for promoting enmity and undermining national unity. Despite Shah’s public apology, the Supreme Court emphasized that public figures must act responsibly, especially during sensitive military operations. The court refused to halt legal proceedings, with the next hearing scheduled for May 16.
