Wing Commander Singh and Colonel Qureshi explained how the Army, Navy, and Air Force coordinated in the joint operation.
India’s strength lies in unity, said X users as they recalled Asim Munir’s (C) viral speech amid briefing by Wing Commander Vyomika Singh (L) and Colonel Sophia Qureshi (R).
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.”

India has proven Pakistan wrong, Once again
Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan, has been associated with the “Two-Nation Theory,” a concept that underpins the nation’s ideological foundation. This theory, originally proposed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, claims that Hindus and Muslims are two distinct nations. Last month, speaking at a ceremony at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, Munir said that this theory formed the foundation for the creation of Pakistan.
A viral post on X showed a photo of Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sophia Qureshi leading the Operation Sindoor media briefing. The caption read, “Two daughters of India Wing Cdr. Vyomika Singh & Col. Sophia Qureshi briefing the Nation on Operation Sindoor – what a powerful moment. This is what pride truly looks like. This Is Naari Shakti, This Is Rashtra Shakti (This is Women Power, This is National Power).”
Overlay text on the image read, “Two women in uniform leading a mission named after Sindoor, a mark of strength, sacrifice & Shakti. The symbolism is powerful. Bharat is not just fighting, it’s redefining.”

A person wrote, “Two women. Two uniforms. Two faiths. One mission: Service to the nation. Col Sofiya Qureshi and Wg Cdr Vyomika Singh leading the Operation Sindoor briefing is more than strategy—it’s a statement. India’s strength lies in unity.”
Posting a picture from the briefing, a user commented, “Operation Sindoor. Colonel Sophia Qureshi. Wing commander Vyomika Singh. This picture is going to haunt Pakistanis for the rest of their lives.”

The operation was named “Sindoor”, referring to the red vermilion traditionally worn by married Hindu women. This name was chosen to honour the widows of the Pahalgam attack victims, who lost their husbands during the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
