“Go and Apologise”: Supreme Court Rebukes Minister Over Colonel Sofiya Qureshi Remark
The Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai, described the minister’s comments as unacceptable and insensitive, stating that individuals occupying constitutional positions should exercise restraint in speech.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sharply rebuked Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah over his controversial remarks directed at Indian Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai, described the minister’s comments as unacceptable and insensitive, stating that individuals occupying constitutional positions should exercise restraint in speech.
Chief Justice Gavai questioned the conduct of Mr Shah by asking, “What sort of comments are you making? You should show some sense of sensibility. Go and apologise in High Court.”
The remarks, which have drawn widespread criticism from the Opposition, military veterans, and even some members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led to an FIR against the minister. The court refused to stay the High Court’s directive to initiate criminal proceedings against him.
