Why? Because, according to the Madhya Pradesh government, no one formally complained. Yes, you read that right. No complaint = no case, even though the High Court called the language “gutter-level” and ordered an FIR. Even though the Supreme Court formed a Special Investigation Team. Even though the minister apologized; multiple times; only after the court got angry. The state’s five-point defense? He didn’t name her directly. He regretted it. He didn’t mean to offend. No communal tensions were sparked. And; crucially; no complainant came forward. But here’s the twist: when the Governor approved the Cabinet’s refusal, it opened a legal Pandora’s box. A precedent exists; from 2004; where a Governor overruled a Cabinet decision to protect accountability. Now, Congress leaders are asking the Governor to do the same. This isn’t just about one minister. It’s about how much weight public outrage, institutional credibility and gender dignity carry; when the law says “complainant required.” The Supreme Court now holds the final card. And the nation is watching.
