The division bench of the Jabalpur High Court has suo motu directed the registration of a case against BJP leader Vijay Shah following his controversial remarks about Colonel Sofiya Qureshi.
Shah’s comments, perceived as derogatory and communal in nature, sparked widespread outrage and political backlash, prompting the court to intervene and initiate legal proceedings under serious criminal sections.
The comments were flagged by Congress, who slammed the BJP over its leader and Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah’s purported objectionable remarks on Colonel Sofiya Qureshi.
The Congress shared a video in which BJP minister Vijay Shah is purportedly heard making objectionable remarks, saying, “‘Jinhone humari betiyon ke sindoor ujade the… humne unhiki behen bhej kar ke unki aisi ki taisi karwayi (those who wiped sindoor (vermilion) off our daughters’ forehead… we sent their sister to teach them a lesson)’.”
