Col Sofiya Qureshi remarks row: SC directs MP govt to decide on sanction against Minister Vijay Shah
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Madhya Pradesh government to take a decision within two weeks on granting sanction to prosecute Tribal Affairs Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah for his controversial remarks against Indian Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who had briefed the media during last year’s Operation Sindoor.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant expressed displeasure over the Madhya Pradesh government’s inaction on the request made by the court-constituted Special Investigation Team (SIT) seeking prosecution sanction.
During the hearing, the apex court opened the SIT’s sealed cover report and noted that, after examining various aspects, the investigation team had sought sanction from the government in Madhya Pradesh to prosecute Shah.
