Condemning the remarks as “disgusting, uncivilised and indecent,” BSP chief Mayawati on Wednesday said that the minister’s statements were intended to destroy the positive atmosphere due to the army’s success.”First, the Foreign Secretary, and then the disgusting, uncivilized, and indecent remarks towards a female army officer are truly destroying the entire positive atmosphere of enthusiasm and excitement that the whole country is feeling due to the Indian Army’s success against Pakistan in ‘Operation Sindoor,’ which is extremely sad and shameful,” Mayawati wrote in a post on X.She urged the BJP and the central government to take seriously the “indecent remark” made by the senior politician “concerning a Muslim woman army spokesperson” and initiate strict action against the minister to protect the “mutual brotherhood and harmony in the country.”Meanwhile, senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi condemned Shah’s remarks and called him a “fool.””He is a fool. Some people have become habitual of losing sense in enthusiasm,” Naqvi told PTI, reacting to the statement.Terming the remarks “unacceptable and condemnable”, Naqvi said Shah has become a “laughing stock” by making such comments against Colonel Qureshi, whose entire family remained committed to national security and that the country salutes them for their nationalist resolve.Following the backlash, Vijay Shah said that he is ready to “apologise ten times” if his remarks have hurt any society or religion.
