SC Plea Seeks Removal of MP Minister Vijay Shah
Imagine a politician made a mean comment about an army officer, calling her names.
Now, someone from a different political party wants to kick the politician out of his job.
They went to the highest court, the Supreme Court, to make this happen.
The court said the politician couldn't be arrested right away but had to help with the investigation.
However, the court wouldn't help the person trying to get rid of the politician.
They told her to solve the problem in a different way.
