Political Backlash: MP Minister Vijay Shah Faces Calls For Resignation Over Army Officer Insult

Madhya Pradesh Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah is facing widespread condemnation for his disrespectful remarks against Colonel Sofia Quraishi, a daughter of the nation and an army officer. His comments have sparked outrage across political parties and society, with many demanding his immediate removal from the cabinet. Opposition leaders and even some BJP insiders, including former CM Uma Bharti, have criticized the party for failing to take prompt action. While the High Court praised judicial intervention and ordered an FIR against Vijay Shah, the BJP government has been reluctant to act decisively.Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has stated that the government is following court orders, but critics accuse him of using the controversy as a political shield, pointing fingers at the opposition instead of addressing the core issue. The matter is being viewed not as a political dispute but as an affront to the Indian Army and the country’s constitutional values. The issue highlights a serious lack of political ethics and moral responsibility, especially given the sensitive context of “Operation Sindoor,” where the Indian army’s daughters sent a strong message to Pakistan.With the case now in court and Vijay Shah seeking legal relief, the party appears to be awaiting judicial outcomes before taking further steps. However, public demand for accountability and respect for the nation’s armed forces continues to grow louder.
