New Delhi, May 9 -- The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up Madhya Pradesh minister Kunwar Vijay Shah over his remarks against Colonel Sophiya Qureshi during Operation Sindoor terming it "most unfortunate" and "without remorse" and directed the state government to clear its stand on granting sanction within two weeks. The court noted that on January 19, it had asked the state to take a call on granting sanction for probing the criminal case against the minister. On Friday, the state informed that a decision in this regard is still pending. While terming the remarks "unfortunate", the state said it was never meant to demean the officer but to praise her. The bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and justice Joymalya Bagchi said, "What he said was most unfortunate and he had no sense of remorse." Court further noted his conduct after making the statement was equally noteworthy as he was not apologetic.P6...
