SC Reprimands MP Minister Vijay Shah: "Too Late to Apologize Now"

• The Supreme Court severely reprimanded Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah for his controversial remarks against Colonel Sophia Qureshi, stating it's too late for an apology.
• Shah had challenged a High Court order to register an FIR against him for allegedly using abusive language against the Indian Army officer.
• The SC directed the Madhya Pradesh government to decide within two weeks on the sanction for the case under Section 196 of BNS 2023, as the SIT report has been submitted.
• The court questioned the sincerity of an "online apology" previously submitted by Shah, emphasizing the need for a public apology.
• The case stems from a viral video where Shah allegedly made objectionable remarks against Colonel Qureshi, leading to an FIR order by the High Court for promoting enmity.
