Amid attacks by the opposition parties, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the parliament this afternoon on border security. "Our borders are safe," he told the parliament.
"I want to assure that forces are alert and keeping it safe. Forces are ready to tackle any problem. India- China has a perception differences is there for a long time. The reason is we don't have any agreed line. Both have their own lines that they follow and both countries encroach on each other territory because of it," he told the Lok Sabha amid opposition attacks.
This was after Congress's Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said: "We are simply wedged between two nuclear nations. We raise our voices against Pakistan as they harbour terrorists and spread terror. China supports Pakistan. Why do we have such a balanced approach towards China?" he asked.
"China sends their navy to Andaman and Nicobar but still we don't do anything. We are not a soft country and our forces are strong," he said.
In Lok Sabha, International Financial Services Centres Authority Bill, 2019 is scheduled for passage today. In Rajya Sabha, The National Capital Territory of Delhi (Recognition of Property Rights of Residents in Unauthorised Colonies) Bill, 2019 is scheduled for consideration and passage.
