Kuver Vijay Shah Faces Outrage After Disrespecting Army Officer, Opposition Demands Resignation

A massive political storm has erupted in Madhya Pradesh after BJP leader and minister Kunwar Vijay Shah allegedly insulted Indian Army officer Colonel Sofia Qureshi with a controversial remark that has triggered nationwide outrage. ABP News had launched a campaign yesterday against Vijay Shah’s insensitive statement, and the movement continues to gain momentum. Despite being reprimanded by the Supreme Court and a case being registered on High Court orders, Shah has not resigned. Instead, CM Mohan Yadav has shown support by officially addressing him with respect in a public statement, further infuriating critics.The High Court has already criticized the FIR as weak and intentionally diluted, making it vulnerable to legal challenges in higher courts. Vijay Shah, a political heavyweight with eight MLA terms and five ministerial stints, appears undeterred, using his position, money, and influence to remain untouched.The Congress and Samajwadi Party have seized the opportunity, staging protests and linking it to their larger political agendas—like Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA strategy. Hundreds of Congress workers protested at Bhopal’s Vidhan Sabha, demanding Shah’s dismissal, chanting slogans like “Barkhast Karo.”While the BJP celebrates Operation Sindoor, it now finds itself defending a minister accused of disrespecting national pride—the Indian Army.
