Union Minister and LJP (Ramvilas) chief Chirag Paswan called Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah's controversial remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi "shameful". "No one is above the Army, we're safe because of them...If somebody from my party had given the statement, I'd have expelled them for life," he stated. Chirag added, "But I'm part of the alliance, I can only suggest."
