India far ahead of China in leading the world with ideas: Rajnath Singh
The “unprovoked aggression” on the Himalayan frontiers is a reminder of how the world is changing, how existing agreements are being challenged, how power is being asserted not just in the Himalayas but across the Indo-Pacific, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday, referring to the ongoing stand-off with China in Eastern Ladakh.
Speaking at a ship launch in Kolkata, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen. Bipin Rawat said they have got adequate forces to counter any threat or challenges that they may face on the northern borders.
“Whenever there is a situation at the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the most obvious outcome is a comparison between India and China’s military strength. There can be a serious debate on who owns more military might but when it comes to soft power there is no scope of ambiguity. India is far ahead of China when it comes to leading the world with ideas,” Mr. Singh said at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) annual general meeting.
He said India, due to its location, size, population and economy, had always been at the strategic forefront of global security.
