He learned that the Indian army is the best in the world. “The day still remembers …” Colonel Qureshi said, “the soldiers and officers of the Indian army were trained. We find many opportunities where we face such situations. I want to give you an example. The Indian army is also in the peace forces, we make a great contribution. In 2006, I was placed in Cong as a military observer. Sometimes crisis becomes very vigilant at the time. Guns were going on everywhere. The situation was very bad. Some militia are hidden in the cemetery. There were also some women. That’s why he said we should form a team. It is a matter of proud that someone said who looked at Indian officers. Colonel Qureshi further said: ‘I remember the day (of the mission) … I suddenly remembered that if I went today, I am part of it, then I might not come back. So there were small phones at the time, I recorded it for my mother, for my family … that I can’t come back, but I take this tricolor … I will come alive or get into it. Colonel further explained that ‘the operation was very successful. All of these have learned that the Indian army is the best! ‘The story of Operation Sindoor told in KBC served in the army by three generations of Colonel Qureshi. His ancestors fought a war with Rani Laxmibai. Since childhood, she has grown up and listened to heroic stories. He said Pakistan has provoked it for decades. There are many examples such as Pahalgam Attack on April 22. It was necessary to answer. Operation Sindoor was the result of this thinking. It was not retaliation. The message was that the new India would not jeopardize its safety. He was accompanied by the commander of Air Force Wing Vyomika Singh and Navy Commander Prerna Devasthali on the show. The three waved India’s power in their respective areas. It was a proud moment for him to sit in front of Amitabh Bachchan. But he felt the right pride when the whole country played applause on his bravery.
