BJP Minister’s Vulgar Remark On Col. Sofiya Qureshi Triggers FIR | MP High Court Slams Vijay Shah

A political storm erupted in Madhya Pradesh after Minister Vijay Shah made a controversial remark about Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who led Operation Sindoor following the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Shah’s comment—“We sent a sister of their own to teach them a lesson”—sparked backlash across party lines. Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge slammed it as “shameful and vulgar.” An FIR was ordered by the Jabalpur High Court, and BJP’s Hitanand Sharma reportedly reprimanded Shah. Amid growing criticism, Shah apologized and called Colonel Qureshi “a pride of the nation.” #ColonelQureshi #VijayShah #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistan #PoliticalControversy #MadhyaPradeshPolitics #WomenInUniform #IndianArmy #SofiyaQureshi #Kharge #Congress #BJP #VulgarRemarks #FIROrdered #HighCourt #NationalSecurity #GenderRemarks #IndiaStrikes #Ceasefire #IndianPolitics #MilitaryPride #MinisterControversy #VijayShahFIR #ClosedDoorRebuke #JabalpurCourt #BJPBacklash #ApologyIssued #ViralRemark #IndianArmyWomen #NationalOutrage ~GR.122~HT.408~

‘As Soon As The Prisoner Swap Is Over, We Will....’ Russia’s Most SURPRISING Move Amid POW Swap

Russia will present a draft peace proposal to Ukraine once the ongoing POW exchange of 1,000 prisoners per side concludes, said Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The proposal stems from progress made during the recent Istanbul talks, the first direct negotiations since 2022. Lavrov emphasized that the document outlines conditions for a “lasting comprehensive settlement.” President Putin confirmed that the next step, agreed upon with President Trump, involves a memorandum defining the peace roadmap. Both Moscow and Kiev have committed to resuming talks after draft proposals are exchanged. #RussiaUkraine #PeaceProposal #POWSwap #PutinTrump #IstanbulTalks #UkraineConflict #Lavrov #Ceasefire #PeaceDeal #RussiaNews #UkraineNews #ConflictResolution #InternationalTalks #Diplomacy #GlobalPolitics #Moscow #Kiev #WarInUkraine #Putin #Trump Also Read Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.
