Taj Mohammed Qureshi, the Colonel’s father, described the moving event shortly after the rally, remembering how PM Modi recognized his family in the crowd.
“PM Modi ne humey sir liya aur fir pranaam kiya.” Humne bhi unhe sammaan se pranaam kiya (PM Modi folded his hands in greeting after recognizing us). He was impressed by the gesture and remarked, “We also returned the gesture with respect.”
Halima Qureshi, her mother, also voiced her unwavering support for the prime minister.
We gave him flowers as a greeting. It’s great to see everyone uniting in his greeting. He deserves this respect since he is our nation’s prime minister,” she remarked.
She said, “Sofiya is not only our daughter but the daughter of the nation,” in reference to her daughter. Her actions are admirable, and we ought to continue her legacy.
Colonel Sofiya’s twin sister, Shyna Sunsara, joined her parents in describing an emotional encounter with Prime Minister Modi, stating, “When he passed by, he bowed down, and we bowed back.” It was a moment to remember. He seemed to be telling everyone that we are all on the same page and that nobody should be scared.
“Meeting PM Modi felt inspiring,” she continued, praising the Prime Minister’s dedication to women’s emancipation. Many people, like me, are inspired by Sofia’s dedication to the country. She has grown to be the nation’s sister.

It was an amazing moment. He remarked, “He gave us a warm greeting with his gestures.” Furthermore, he conveyed his appreciation to the Indian government and military for allowing his sister to serve the country.
