New Delhi. India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has given a clear message from India amid the tariff controversy issued by the US. At the Defense Summit program held in Delhi, Rajnath Singh said, India does not consider anyone as its enemy, but for us its people, of their farmers, their small traders are at the top. We cannot compromise on any cost by ignoring the welfare of our country. No matter how much pressure it is put, India will continue to give top priority to the interests of its farmers, small businessmen, shopkeepers, cattle rearers and common citizens.

The Defense Minister further said, we all study in geography, the more the rock gets strong. I feel that the more pressure will be put on India, the more a strong rock will be enhanced. Our policy, our strategy and our self -sufficiency will remain firm and stable, despite any global pressure. Rajnath Singh said, our government has always believed that only through self -sufficient India, we can keep our strategic autonomy strong. This approach will also keep us safe in the coming time and will also give us a leading place among the emerging powers of the world. Today’s changing geopolitics has also made it clear that external dependence in the field of defense is no longer an option for us. In the present situation, self -sufficiency is very important for both our economy and our security.
The defense sector has become a efficient ecosystem of innovation, technology, manufacturing and economic security today. This is the thinking that is establishing India as a decisive power on the world platform, leading to self -reliance. He said, during the operation vermilion, saw a sample of its defense abilities and preparations. Operation vermilion appears to be a story of only a few days of war and the victory of India and the defeat of Pakistan, but it has played a long role of strategic preparations and defense preparations for years.
