BHOPAL: Eventually, Madhya Pradesh Tribal Welfare Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah opted to skip the cabinet meeting amid ongoing controversy surrounding his "offensive" remarks about senior Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi.
His decision to stay away comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's directive to form a Special Investigation Team to probe the matter. In compliance, the Director General of Police has formed a team of senior IPS officers: Pramod Verma, Inspector General (IGP) of Sagar; Kalyana Chakravarthy, Deputy Inspector General of the Special Armed Forces (SAF); and Vahini Singh, Superintendent of Police (SP) in Dindori.
The historic Rajwada Palace in Indore became the focal point of political and cultural significance on Tuesday as the Madhya Pradesh cabinet convened a special meeting to commemorate the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar -- the revered ruler of Indore. (IANS)
