BSP chief Mayawati condemned the remarks made by Madhya Pradesh minister Kunwar Vijay Shah, which apparently made a reference to Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. Mayawati described the remarks as "deeply saddening and shameful". Vijay Shah said PM Narendra Modi taught a lesson to those responsible for Pahalgam terror attack by sending "unke samaj ki behen (sister from their community)".
