Indian minister Vijay Shah, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), referred to Colonel Sofia Qureshi, a Muslim officer in the Indian Army, as the "sister of terrorists."
Shah's remarks followed Colonel Qureshi's press conference addressing damages inflicted by the Pakistan Army during Operation Sindoor.
Shah accused Qureshi of being part of a conspiracy.
The Congress Party condemned Shah's comments and demanded his resignation.
Congress workers protested outside Shah's residence.
The incident has created a difficult situation for the BJP, facing criticism for stoking religious divides.
