The Congress on Republic Day on Monday (January 26) targeted the BJP over a controversy involving Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Vijay Shah, alleging that the ruling party is challenging the Constitution.
The main opposition party raised the question that why Vijay Shah has not been removed from the post of minister yet in the case of his alleged objectionable comments about Indian Army Colonel Sofia Qureshi and why was he given the responsibility of hoisting the national flag at the Republic Day function?
Vijay Shah hoisted the tricolor in Khandwa
In fact, on January 19, the Supreme Court had directed the state government to take a decision within two weeks on granting sanction to prosecute Vijay Shah for his controversial comments regarding Colonel Qureshi. Whereas Vijay Shah hoisted the national flag and took the ceremonial parade salute during the main function organized at the stadium ground of his home district Khandwa on Republic Day.
Jeetu Patwari surrounded
State Congress President Jitu Patwari participated in the Republic Day celebrations at the party’s Indore office. After this he told reporters, “Following the week-old instructions of the apex court, Shah should have been immediately removed from the post of minister, but the BJP made him hoist the flag on Republic Day. Through this, the Constitution is being challenged by the BJP.” Patwari said that resignation not being taken from Vijay Shah till now raises questions on the working style of the state Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
Deputy CM Jagdish Deora maintained silence
When Congress raised questions about Vijay Shah hoisting the tricolor, Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Deora refused to comment. When asked for his reaction in this matter, he told reporters, “I think today only congratulations and good wishes should be taken on this occasion (Republic Day).” Deora said this after participating in the main function of Republic Day in Indore.
Comment was made on Colonel Sophia Qureshi
Let us tell you that last year, Vijay Shah came under criticism after a video was circulated on social media. In this video, he was seen allegedly making objectionable remarks against Colonel Qureshi.
