Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), May 14, 2025: The Madhya Pradesh High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the controversial remarks made by State Cabinet Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, directing the initiation of criminal proceedings against the minister.
The remarks, which were widely criticized for their communal and derogatory tone, were made during a public gathering in Ramkunda village, where Shah referred to Col. Qureshi’s role in Operation Sindoor in a manner many have called inflammatory and disrespectful.
Advocate Rameshwar Thakur, speaking to the media, confirmed that a Division Bench of the High Court has ordered the initiation of legal action. “The relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code have been notified in the court’s directive,” Thakur stated.
