India, May 24 -- Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah, who is under a Supreme Court-monitored investigation for his controversial comments on Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, released a fresh video on Friday saying his words were a "linguistic mistake" and not meant to offend anyone.

In the 45-second video posted on X, Shah said, "I sincerely apologise to the entire Indian Army, sister Colonel Sofiya and all the countrymen." He added that he did not intend to hurt any community.

"The words spoken by me have hurt our community, religion and people of the nation. This was a linguistic mistake by me," he said, standing with folded hands in the video. "It was by mistake that I uttered those words... With folded hands, I again apologise to you."
