Colonel Qureshi's twin sister Shyna Sunsara and brother Sanjay Qureshi were among those who attended the roadshow. 

"It's an honour to meet the prime minister. Not everyone is that lucky...PM Modi has done a lot for women's empowerment. Sofiya is my twin sister. When my sister does something for the country, it inspires not only me but others as well. She is no longer just my sister but the country's sister as well," she said.

Sanjay Qureshi said it was a "great pleasure" to see the prime minister and that he greeted them through gestures.

Speaking about his sister, he said, "I thank our defence forces and the government of India for giving this chance to my sister. A woman taking revenge for the suffering of other women - what can be better than this? Our forces proved to the enemy that women are no less than men."
