| GoI should desist from reducing strength of defence personnel: Manjit Singh | | |  Early Times Report
VIJAYPUR, Mar 6: Former Minister and Congress general secretary Manjit Singh today criticized Union Defence Minister Manohar Parikar for his statement regarding reducing strength of defense persons.
"The Defense Minister has given unjustified statement about their decision of not recruiting more soldiers. India's defense should be strong in view of two main enemy countries like China and Pakistan who invest most in their defense forces and India too should strengthen its defense and increase strength of defense personnel," said Manjit Singh, while speaking here at village Koulpur.
Singh was speaking before the people in the village after paying respects to martyred soldier Hawaldar Kulbir Singh who laid down his life for the country while fighting Pakistani soldiers and terrorists during Kargil war.
Singh referring to the martyr Kulbir Singh, said the Union Defense Minister should know that India is safe due to Indian army and decision to reduce Indian soldiers only because of financial burden is a hurriedly taken step.
"We should keep our army's strength increasing and invest more in the defense services instead of reducing financial burden," he said, adding that they can decrease salaries of the parliamentarian or there are other means to lessen burden.
He said "Our Army not only defends Indian borders but also helps administration to maintain law and order besides helping government during rescue operation in natural disasters."
He said that the attempt to reduce number of Indian army would hamper the defense of the country and Government of India should re-think over the decision. |
