Minister Vijay Shah made controversial remarks on Colonel Qureshi. After his comment, he is being criticized across the country. The opposition is also raising the demand to dismiss him from the cabinet.
Colonel Sophia Qureshi was entrusted with the responsibility of regular press briefing along with Air Force Wing Commander Vyika Singh during the ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched by India against the Pahalgam militant attack and he performed it well. He got a discussion in the country due to frequent briefing. The statement made against him shows Vijay Shah’s insensitivity.
Vijay Shah has also apologized for his statement. He released a video saying that Colonel Qureshi is more than his real sister.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav has used caste words about Wing Commander Vyomika Singh. There is anger against him in the whole country. On the other hand, on Friday, Congress MLAs submitted a memorandum to Governor Mangu Bhai Patel demanding the dismissal of Minister Vijay Shah in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal. After handing over the memorandum, he sat on a dharna on gate number 2 of Raj Bhavan, demanding the dismissal of the minister. The police tried to understand the Congress MLAs and remove it from there, but the Congress MLA did not agree. Amid the uproar, the police took into custody the MLAs who were protesting.
