Colonel Sofiya Qureshi’s family, with her being one of the two female military officers who conducted briefings on India’s cross-border strikes against terror targets during Operation Sindoor, participated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow in Vadodara, Gujarat, on Monday.
Colonel Qureshi’s parents, Taj Mohammad and Halima Qureshi, greeted Prime Minister Modi as crowds gathered along the streets for the roadshow, which began at Vadodara’s Harni Airport and included cultural performances.
Here is what Colonel Sofiya Qureshi’s brother Sanjay Qureshi has to say at PM Modi’s roadshow: "The crowd at today's roadshow is just fabulous. I am happy that people are here to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor, just like we are here. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also here, he congratulated us and we welcomed him. We are very happy and excited."
Here is what Colonel Sofiya Qureshi’s twin sister Shyana Sunesara has to say at PM Modi’s roadshow: “Today we are here at PM Modi's roadshow held to celebrate Operation Sindoor… The operation was led by two females, one of them was my sister and they completed it successfully without any casualties. There was no fear in the country during the operation. It was a different feeling to see PM Modi.”
