Rajnath Singh News: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh today targeted neighboring countries Pakistan and China without naming them and said that our neighbor is a bit crazy. There is no telling what action he will take when. We never know when we will need weapons, hence we will have to become self-reliant in the defense sector. Defense Minister said this in Nagpur. He had come to visit Economics Explosive Company.

The Defense Minister said that the role of private sector in defense production sector should be 50%. We have decided that all the systems of the country, the entire sub-system will be made indigenous.

From teachers to technology, private sector is playing an important role

The Defense Minister said that we want to make the defense sector self-reliant. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is continuously insisting for this. There was a time when the entire defense sector was limited to the public sector. At that time no one could think of private sector. We had full confidence in the potential of the private sector. Had faith. The flow of focused development is flowing everywhere. Private sector is playing an important role in every field from teachers to technology.

India becomes global hub of arms production

Rajnath Singh said that our aim is to make India a global hub of arms production. The operation lasted for 88 hours, but those 88 hours cannot be described in words. It is difficult to explain this in words. In such an operation, every minute and every decision has importance, when the operation is so intense then its preparation should also be so comprehensive and strong.

The nature of war is changing very fast

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that if we look around today, we can see different types of wars. Some conflicts that have been going on for many years. Russia-Ukraine has been going on for a few months. Some that have lasted for a few hours. There have been many such wars, which are also going on. If we look at any type of war, its method, its form, it is clearly understood that its intensity is also increasing. Its preparation should be on war footing. The nature of war is changing rapidly.
