Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah is under scrutiny for derogatory remarks about Col. Qureshi. Despite apologies, Supreme Court orders probe. Dismissal demands increase amid controversy.

Madhya Pradesh Minister in Controversy

Madhya Pradesh's Vijay Shah faces scrutiny for remarks about Col. Qureshi. Supreme Court orders an investigation; dismissal calls grow, heightening political tensions.

Vijay Shah skips cabinet meet amid probe

Minister Vijay Shah faces backlash for derogatory comments about Col. Qureshi, prompting court rebukes and investigation orders. Despite his apology, demands for dismissal grow as state Congress questions inaction.

Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah who is facing a probe for his objectionable remarks about Col Sofiya Qureshi was not seen at the state cabinet meeting held here on Tuesday.
Shah did not arrive at the historical Rajbada palace here to attend the meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, a government official said.
He holds the portfolios of Tribal Affairs, Public Asset Management and Bhopal Gas Tragedy Relief and Rehabilitation.
The Supreme Court on Monday chided the BJP minister for his "crass" remarks about Col Qureshi and constituted a three-member special investigation team to conduct probe in the First Information Report registered against him.
Shah came under fire after a video, which was shared widely, showed him allegedly making objectionable remarks against Col Qureshi, who gained nationwide prominence along with another woman officer, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, during media briefings on Operation Sindoor.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court earlier rebuked Shah for passing "scurrilous" remarks and using "language of the gutters" against Col Qureshi and ordered the police to register an FIR against him on the charge of promoting enmity and hatred.
After drawing severe condemnation, the minister has expressed regret and said that he respects Col Qureshi more than his sister.
The cabinet meeting was organised at the Rajbada palace, constructed by the erstwhile Holkar dynasty of Indore, to mark the conclusion of the 300th birth anniversary year of Ahilyabai Holkar, a legendary ruler.
Meanwhile, the Congress again demanded that Shah be dismissed from the cabinet.
State Congress president Jitu Patwari said in a statement, "The Supreme Court and High Court have severely reprimanded Shah for his objectionable remarks about Colonel Qureshi and rejected his apology. Despite this, why no decision has been taken on Shah's dismissal?"

MP Minister Vijay Shah is in controversy for remarks on Colonel Qureshi, leading to court-ordered action.

MP Minister Criticized for Remarks on Colonel

Vijay Shah's comments against Colonel Qureshi prompt MP High Court to order action, amidst political uproar.

MP Minister Shah lands in another controversy

Vijay Shah faces backlash for remarks against Colonel Qureshi, prompting court action.

For Madhya Pradesh Tribal Affairs Minister Vijay Shah, currently under fire for his comments aimed at Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, this is not the first time he has been embroiled in a controversy.
In the past, the tribal leader was accused of making offensive comments on former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan&rsquo;s wife and kicking up a row with a dinner invite to Bollywood actor Vidya Balan during a film shoot in MP.
On the orders of the MP High Court, police have booked Shah for making objectionable remarks about Col Qureshi, who gained nationwide prominence along with another woman officer, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, during media briefings on Operation Sindoor.
During a public event in Indore district on Monday, Shah tried to present Col Qureshi as the &ldquo;sister of terrorists&rdquo;, prompting the HC to take suo motu cognisance of it.
In April 2013, Shah had made crass remarks on Chouhan&rsquo;s wife while addressing a public function in the tribal-dominated Jhabua district. The unpalatable comments created a political firestorm and cost him his job as a minister.
Abhay Tiwari, state Congress general secretary in-charge of media and research, said Shah was forced to resign from the MP cabinet in 2013 over his tasteless talk concerning the then CM&rsquo;s wife.
&ldquo;Now, when he has made a shameless comment on the Army, the BJP is silent. Is this their nationalism,&rdquo; he asked.
Congress spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta said when Shah was using the &ldquo;language of gutter&rdquo;, as mentioned in the HC order, the ex-culture minister and Mhow MLA, Usha Thakur, was seen laughing in a video of the event.
&ldquo;Is this the culture of the BJP,&rdquo; he asked.
Shah had triggered another row in November 2020 when he was the forest minister.
&ldquo;He reportedly invited actor Vidya Balan for dinner during the shooting of the film &lsquo;Sherni&rsquo; in Balaghat district. The film star turned down the offer, after which Shah&rsquo;s department withdrew the permission for the shoot,&rdquo; Gupta claimed.
According to media reports, vehicles of the film production team were allegedly stopped from entering a forest area for shooting, a day after the actress declined to join Shah for dinner, Gupta said.
Shah had rubbished the allegations, saying he had turned down an invitation for lunch/dinner from those who took permission for shooting.
The eighth-term MLA from the Harsud (ST) seat has also served as the school education minister.
The 62-year-old tribal leader, popular among voters for doing benevolent work, remained undefeated in the constituency from 1990 to 2023.
However, the latest controversy drew the attention of the high court, which took suo motu cognisance of the matter.
The HC on Wednesday castigated Shah for passing &ldquo;dangerous&rdquo;, "scurrilous" remarks and using "language of the gutters" against Colonel Qureshi, and ordered the police to file an FIR against him for promoting enmity and hatred.
The division bench of Justices Atul Shridharan and Anuradha Shukla said the remarks were &ldquo;disparaging&rdquo; to the armed forces, which is &ldquo;perhaps the last institution in the country&rdquo; that reflects integrity, discipline, sacrifice, selflessness, character, honour and indomitable courage.
State Congress chief Jitu Patwari on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should ask Vijay Shah to resign. His party colleague Digvijaya Singh said Shah had a mentality similar to that of the &ldquo;BJP's troll army&rdquo;, and the PM should clarify whether he found the minister's comments appropriate.
Amid criticism, Shah has said if anyone is hurt by his statement, he is ready to apologise 10 times, adding that he respects Colonel Qureshi more than his sister.

Minister of Uttar Pradesh orders the transfer of a Sonbhadra hospital superintendent

Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjeev Kumar Gond, upset over a protocol breach, orders transfer of Sonbhadra hospital superintendent. Inquiry initiated after community complaints about the superintendent's conduct.

Upset over the alleged breach of protocol during a hospital visit, Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjeev Kumar Gond has directed the chief medical officer of Sonbhadra to transfer the superintendent of the facility to another location.
Gond, who represents the Obra Assembly constituency in Sonbhadra district, an ST reserved seat, is the minister of state for social welfare in the Uttar Pradesh government.
According to officials, Gond visited the joint district hospital in Dibulganj on Wednesday to inaugurate a solar power plant.
During his visit, Gond reportedly noticed that while his supporters were greeting him, the hospital's medical superintendent, Ravi Pratap Singh, stood silently in the background wearing a face mask.
"I couldn't recognise who the doctor was. Later at the inauguration site, the doctor approached me and said, 'minister sir, you didn't meet me'. I told him it was his duty to step forward and greet me as per the protocol," Gond told reporters.
Gond also alleged that locals and party workers had complained to him that the official was frequently found under the influence of alcohol while on duty.
"Action will be taken against such a doctor," he said.
Confirming that the minister called him on Wednesday, chief medical officer Ashwini Kumar said, "That's when I learnt that the superintendent of Dibulganj hospital did not follow protocol. I have ordered an inquiry into the matter by a senior official. Strict disciplinary action will be taken against the guilty."

A minister in the BJP government in Assam is in trouble for apologising to a terrorist. Assam's Tea Tribes and Employment Minister Sanjoy Kishan was issued a show-cause notice on May 28 by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, as per news agency PTI.

Israel Institute for Biological Research&nbsp;will start human clinical trials of its Covid-19 vaccine candidate Brilife from November 1. The institute has got all necessary approvals from the Ministry of Health and the Helsinki Committee that&nbsp;deals with research approval and human experiments.&nbsp;The three stages of the human clinical trial involving over 30,000 volunteers are likely to last till mid-2021 and if all goes well, the vaccine could be ready for mass use only after that.&nbsp;The first phase of the human trial will include a series of safety tests with the participation of 80 healthy volunteers.

Jerusalem, PTI: Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) will start human clinical trials of its Covid-19 vaccine candidate Brilife from November 1. The institute has got all necessary approvals from the Ministry of Health and the Helsinki Committee, the Israeli Defence Ministry said.
The Helsinki Committee deals with research approval and human experiments.
The committee is mandated to ensure the well being and rights of trial volunteers and to ensure that the experiment is conducted as per the approved medical guidelines and ethics, besides various domestic laws, rules and regulations.
The guidelines are outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki and various relevant international conventions.
The three stages of the human clinical trial involving over 30,000 volunteers are likely to last till mid-2021 and if all goes well, the vaccine could be ready for mass use only after that.
"This is a day of hope for the citizens of Israel, thanks to the IIBR researchers. Just two months ago I received the first bottle of the vaccine. Today we already have 25,000 vaccine doses and are starting the next phase of the test," said Alternate Prime Minister-cum-Defence Minister Benny Gantz.
"I would like to thank the dozens of researchers who work day and night on this national mission in full cooperation with the Ministry of Health. In this complex period, you are the 'commando unit' paving the way for the citizens of Israel. You took on a mission of international and historical importance," Gantz was quoted as saying in an official statement.
"The defence establishment, the Israeli government, and I will continue to provide you with the support and resources required to produce a safe and effective 'blue-and-white' vaccine," he stressed.
"Blue and White" refers to the colours in the Israeli flag, which also happens to be the name of the defence minister's party.
The first phase of the human trial will include a series of safety tests with the participation of 80 healthy volunteers (aged 18-55), designated by Sheba and Hadassah medical centres.
The trial will begin on November 1 with two participants initially. Depending on their responses, the vaccine will then be gradually administered to a total of 80 volunteers -- 40 in each medical centre.
Each volunteer will receive an injection and discharged after a few hours of observation. They will then be monitored over three weeks.

On Sunday, Pakistan reported 666 new COVID-19 cases, taking the total number of infections to 318,932, according to the Ministry of National Health Services.
Minister for Planning Asad Umar in a post on Twitter said that mini lockdowns have been imposed in some cities after &ldquo;positivity rate crossed 2 per cent after remaining below 2 per cent for six weeks&rdquo;.
Positivity rate is the percentage of positive results out of the total number of tests sampled.
Mini smart lockdowns have been imposed in Karachi, Islamabad and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
"Instructions have been issued to administrations across the country to ensure that precautionary measures are followed. But like in the past, success is impossible without the cooperation of the people," he said in the tweet.
Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood also asked people to follow guidelines and avoid big gatherings.
"Large public gatherings must not take place. These alone can unleash a second wave," he said.
According to the health ministry, Punjab province on Sunday confirmed 203 new COVID-19 cases. It was for the first time since August 15 that Punjab recorded more than 200 cases.
Sindh reported 140,131 cases, Punjab 100,687, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa 38,329, Islamabad 17,296, Balochistan 15,520, Gilgit-Baltistan 3,924 and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir 3,045 cases.

The restrictions have come ahead of a big rally announced by the opposition parties, under the banner Pakistan Democratic Movement, on October 16 at Gujranwala in Punjab province against the Imran Khan-led government.
However, the Opposition leaders have rejected the call to avoid big rallies.
&ldquo;Some weeks ago this government was taking credit for controlling the coronavirus but suddenly it started saying that it was getting out of control,&rdquo; Rana Sanaullah of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz earlier had said.&nbsp;
