‘No one has guts… on India’: Union minister replies to question on China
Praising the prime minister, Union minister of state for defence Ajay Bhatt said India has emerged as a leader in every sphere, including the water, land, and air, under the guidance of Narendra Modi.
Union minister of state (MoS) for defence Ajay Bhatt on Wednesday said no one has the guts to cast an (evil) eye on India since the country is capable of giving an immediate response. Bhatt was responding to a query about China's belligerence in Ladakh, reported news agency PTI.
"No one has guts to cast an (evil) eye on us because if anyone dares so, we are capable of giving an immediate response," Bhatt told reporters after inaugurating the ‘Global Meet on Defence, Transportation and Energy’.
He, however, didn't give a direct reply to the question on China, saying he was not authorised to speak on some issues.
Praising the prime minister, Bhatt said India has emerged as a leader in every sphere, including the water, land, and air, under the guidance of Narendra Modi.
According to SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute), India, for the first time, is in the league of the top 25 countries exporting defence equipment and weapons.
"We are supplying equipment, rockets, missiles, fighter jets, tanks, rifles, and ammunition in large quantity. We uses to first ask (other counties for these defence products). Today, the world is surprised that we are giving this to others," he said.
"For the first time, since Modi ji has been at the helm, our country is in the league of top nations which never happened before," he added.
