Country awaiting BJP's action on MP minister: Mayawati

Lucknow, May 15 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Thursday said the country was waiting for action from the BJP against the Madhya Pradesh minister who made derogatory remarks against Colonel Sophiya Qureshi.
Taking to X, Mayawati posted, "The FIR lodged late Wednesday night after the High Court's tough observations against the Madhya Pradesh minister who made derogatory remarks about the Muslim woman colonel, is appropriate, but the country is waiting for action from the BJP."
“It is necessary for the state governments to fulfil their constitutional responsibility, otherwise the expected development will keep getting hampered, which is not right in the public and country’s interest," said the BSP chief.
