Tuesday, September 13, 2011: Amid reports of Chinese military buildup
along Indian boundary, Defence Minister A K Antony today said there is
no need to be unduly worried over military and infrastructure
modernisation programmes of other countries.
Antony said the efforts should be instead on improving the country’s
infrastructure. “We are aware of some nations augmenting infrastructure
and modernising their military capabilities.
Instead of unduly worrying over this we must improve our
infrastructure at a steady pace. At the moment, we are doing
that,”Antony said. He was addressing the silver jubilee function of the
Army Aviation Corps.
Observing that the challenges to be faced by the armed forces in
future would range from terrorism and internal disturbances to
asymmetric and conventional warfare, Antony said, “The non-conventional
threat of terrorism poses a threat to the global peace and all nations
have to unite to tackle these evil designs.
