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... They are our sisters, and they have taken revenge with great strength along with the armed forces.” Addressing a gathering on May 12, Vijay Shah claimed that PM Narendra Modi had taken a symbolic step to avenge the mistreatment of Indian women by sending "a sister from their community" to confront those responsible. His reference, believed to be directed towards Colonel Sofia Qureshi, suggested that the officer was sent on a military aircraft to retaliate against Pakistan-based terrorists for previous attacks and alleged atrocities.
