Madhya Pradesh Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah, under fire for making a derogatory remark against Indian Army Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, has issued a clarification, claiming his comments were misinterpreted. In a statement following public backlash, Kunwar Vijay Shah said, “Do not see my speech in a different context...
