GK and monthly revision
Congress asks President to dismiss Madhya Pradesh government for reportedly shielding Minister who made remarks against Colonel Qureshi
Congress has demanded President's Rule in Madhya Pradesh after Minister Vijay Shah allegedly called Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who briefed on Operation Sindoor, a 'sister' of Pahalgam terrorists. Media reports claim the MP Cabinet refused sanction for his prosecution under Section 197 CrPC, shielding him from legal action. The controversy involves insult to a serving woman army officer and misuse of constitutional protection for ministers. This tests knowledge of Article 356, CrPC sanction provisions, and civil-military relations.
