Vijay Shah insulted woman army officer, now faces FIR after High Court rap, refuses to resign

Union Minister Vijay Shah is facing intense backlash nationwide after making a highly controversial statement in which he labeled a woman army officer, Colonel Sofia Quraishi, as the "sister of terrorists." This comment has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious questions about the silence and inaction of the Madhya Pradesh government under Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.Despite the public fury and judicial scrutiny, Vijay Shah continues to cling to his ministerial post. On Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh High Court took suo motu cognizance of Shah's derogatory remark and observed that the statement was not only personally defamatory but also deeply damaging to national institutions and the social fabric. The court directed the police to immediately register an FIR, after which legal proceedings were initiated.Shah, instead of resigning, rushed to the Supreme Court to prevent action. The apex court, however, strongly reprimanded him, rejecting his claims that his remarks were distorted and that he had already apologized. Shah remains in office, reflecting what many see as both personal shamelessness and political insensitivity.Critics argue that Shah’s communal rhetoric is a deliberate political move aimed at polarizing voters. Meanwhile, ABP News continues to question the state's refusal to take decisive action despite mounting pressure.
