Wing Commander Singh and Colonel Qureshi explained how the Army, Navy, and Air Force coordinated in the joint operation.
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sophia Qureshi led the official media briefing on Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. The pre-dawn air and missile strikes targeted terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing 70 terrorists. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri also joined the briefing.
Singh, a decorated helicopter pilot in the IAF, and Qureshi, a senior Army officer, explained how the Army, Navy, and Air Force coordinated in the joint operation.
The Internet is now praising the powerful image of these two senior women officers leading the briefing, while also recalling Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir’s recent comments on the “Two-Nation Theory.”
Sharing a clip from the briefing, a user recalled, “Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir says, ‘Hindus & Muslims can’t live together.’ Here, Col. Sophia Qureshi & Wg Cmdr. Vyomika Singh giving the best treatment to Pak-sponsored terrorism. India has proven Pakistan wrong, once again.”
