As Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah moved the Supreme Court challenging a High Court order over his remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Congress MP and senior advocate Vivek Tankha questioned whether the BJP’s legal team was aiding him.

Tankha posted on social media, warning that any such support would go against national sentiment and the Army. He further announced that if the case is heard, senior advocates including himself, Kapil Sibal, Indira Jaising, and KTS Tulsi would appear against Shah.

The MP High Court had termed Shah’s remarks “dangerous” and ordered an FIR against him for promoting enmity. The case was filed Wednesday night. Shah later apologized publicly for his comments.
