When the time of the joint press conference of the Army and the Foreign Ministry to inform the country about Operation Sindoor was extended by half an hour from the scheduled time of 10 o’clock, it was considered a natural delay in an important matter.
But when the media present there was informed that two women military officers Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofia Qureshi along with Foreign Ministry spokesman Vikram Misri will brief the national media about India’s retaliation to the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam
Then it became clear what a big and powerful message India has given to the world by taking this unnatural step. Normally such briefings are done by the DGMO or a Brigadier level officer posted at the Army Headquarters, but by giving this responsibility to relatively junior women military officers, India has only told the terrorists and their sympathizers their place.
