On May 19, 2025, the Supreme Court of India strongly criticized Madhya Pradesh Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah for his derogatory remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, a decorated Army officer associated with Operation Sindoor. The Court termed his comments as a “national embarrassment,” rejected his apology, and ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. Earlier, the Madhya Pradesh High Court labeled his remarks as “gutter language,” leading to Shah issuing a public apology. The incident has ignited political backlash, with demands for his resignation and the BJP initiating internal damage control measures. (The Hindu)
