Shri Abhishek Manu Singhvi Interact with Press Media at Gpcc

“‘Modi Sarkar’ is indulging in an unforgivable game of compromising ‘National Interest’ and ‘National Security’. Principles and priorities of this government to strengthen the Nation are misplaced. Deliberate neglect, juvenile ignorance and an obsessive fetish to project Prime Minister’s image internationally characterizes Modi Government’s approach to secure our borders and maintain internal security. The policies, programmes and diplomatic misadventures are suggesting that India has lost its strategic outlook on Defence.
If one was to look at the record of reduced Defence spending, record increase in ceasefire violations, cross-border firings and infiltrations across the line of control (LOC) with Pakistan and China, demoralization among the ranks over past one year and non-implementation of ‘One Rank – One Pension’; this Government has rightfully earned the epithet of ‘Badhte Gaye Seema Par Vaar – Aisi Rahi Modi Sarkar’. Be it inconsistency in dealing with Pakistan, confusing soft signals vis-à-vis China, laggardness in Defence procurement, subversion of deals on transfer of technology; policies of Modi Government have been dithering, directionless and in derogation of ‘National Interest’.
