Congress Rakes Up Col Sofiya Issue
A clash erupted inside the Assembly hall as well. The opposition raked up Colonel Sofia Qureshi issue as minister Vijay Shah stood to reply to the questions asked by Congress MLA Arif Masood during the Q&A hour.
As he tried to present a justification, Congress MLA Phool Singh Berraiya interrupted and demanded Shah’s resignation saying that he had insulted the Indian Army Officer Colonel Sofia Qureshi in the past, and therefore, he must be sacked.
