New Delhi: Amid deadlock with China, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that India is not a ‘weak’ country, the country will never compromise with its ‘national pride’. He said that the country’s security capacity has increased. The Defense Minister was addressing the ‘Jan Samvad’ rally in a digital way today.
Addressing the virtual rally, Rajnath Singh said, ‘I want to assure that we will not compromise national pride under any circumstances. India has become stronger in terms of national security. India is no longer a weak country, but this power is not meant to frighten anyone. If we are increasing our strength then we are doing it for the safety of our country.
“I want to assure that we will not compromise with national pride under any circumstance. India is no longer a weak India. Our strength in national security has risen. But this strength is not meant to frighten anyone but to secure our country,” Singh said.
The senior BJP leader said China has expressed its wish to resolve the dispute with India through talks, and the Indian government also has a similar view.
“This is also our effort to defuse the tussle between India and China through military and diplomatic level talks,” he said, noting that the two countries are engaged in military level dialogue.
In his speech, he also stated that the annulment of Article 370, which had given the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir a special status, has led to all round development in the union territory.
