As India struck deep into Pakistan under Operation Sindoor, the family of Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who played a key role in the mission, expressed pride and emotion over the significant military response. Colonel Qureshi's mother, Halima Qureshi, said the operation had brought justice to the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, adding, "We have avenged the sindoors of our sisters and mothers. This is a moment of great pride for our family and the entire nation." She recalled how Sofiya had long aspired to serve in the armed forces, inspired by her father and grandfather, both of whom served in the Indian Army. "As a child, she used to say that she would join the army when she grew up," she added.
