Why hasn't PM sacked MP minister for 'disgraceful remarks' against Col. Sofiya Qureshi: Cong

Business Aajkal, NEW DELHI, 14 May 2025: On Wednesday, the Indian National Congress questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not yet dismissed Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah following his controversial remarks about Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The Congress described Shah's comments as "atrocious" and accused the BJP of displaying a "diseased mindset."
The opposition party criticized the BJP after a viral video appeared to show Shah making inflammatory statements, allegedly saying, "Jinhone humari betiyon ke sindoor ujade the… humne unhiki behen bhej kar ke unki aisi ki taisi karwayi" ("Those who wiped vermilion off our daughters... we sent their sister to teach them a lesson"). 
Colonel Sofiya Qureshi was a prominent military figure involved in media briefings on Operation Sindoor, alongside Wing Commander Vyomika Singh. The Congress has called for accountability and action against Shah for his remarks.
