SC raps minister for remarks on Col Sofiya Qureshi
The Statesman Delhi
|May 20, 2025
The Supreme Court on Monday came down heavily on Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah for his "filthy, crass and shameful" remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who recently briefed the media following Operation Sindoor.
The Court ordered the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the FIR registered against him.
Deriding Minister Shah's comments and observing, "The nation is ashamed of you," a bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh directed the Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police to constitute the SIT by May 20. The team must comprise three senior IPS officers of the Madhya Pradesh cadre, none of whom should be natives of the state.
