New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh Minister for Tribal Affairs Kunwar Vijay Shah has approached the Supreme Court challenging a High Court directive to register an FIR against him for alleged derogatory remarks made against Indian Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi.

In a special leave petition filed on Thursday, Shah contested the May 14 order passed by a division bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which took suo motu cognisance of his comments and directed the police to file a case for promoting enmity and using "language of the gutters".

The controversy stems from a statement Shah made at a public event near Indore on May 12, where he allegedly referred to Colonel Qureshi as a “sister of terrorists”. The remarks drew sharp criticism and sparked public outrage.

Colonel Sofiya Qureshi has gained public attention for her role in providing regular briefings on 'Operation Sindoor', an Indian military operation targeting terror camps based in Pakistan.

Following the High Court's directive, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated that instructions were issued to take appropriate action against Shah. Consequently, an FIR was registered against the minister on Wednesday evening at the Manpur Police Station under Indore Rural jurisdiction.

In a symbolic protest, activists of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) were seen pouring milk on posters of Colonel Qureshi in Bhopal, claiming the act was intended to ‘purify’ her image after the minister’s remarks.
