Union Defence Minister Arun Jaitley, in a veiled reference to Pakistan, has said India’s defence preparedness needs to be enhanced to the optimum level, owing to its geographical location.
“India is a country which is geographically located in a region which isn’t free from trouble. We have a neighbour, who, for almost seven decades, has perpetuated a security threat as far as India is concerned,” said Jaitley while inaugurating the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) here at Challakere, about 250 km from Bengaluru.
Addressing the gathering, Jaitley threw light on the importance of creating such facilities which will go a long way in ensuring national security.
