In a robust denunciation, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi labeled Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah as "scum" and "filth" for derogatory remarks against Col Sofiya Qureshi.
Owaisi, calling Qureshi India's "daughter and sister," urged the BJP government to remove Shah from the cabinet and arrest him, following a high court order. His remarks, Owaisi asserted, reflect deep-seated hatred towards a specific community, and such conduct must not go unpunished.
The controversy arose after Shah allegedly described Qureshi as the "sister of terrorists" during a public event, prompting the high court's intervention. Owaisi argued for setting a global precedent that such divisive rhetoric is unacceptable, particularly against esteemed armed forces members who symbolize integrity and courage.
