Defence Minister says Chinese intrusions not that serious

Panaji, Nov 13 (ANI): The newly-appointed Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, said that Chinese intrusions were not that serious and the government was dealing with them on a daily basis. While answering a question on Chinese incursions in a news briefing in Goa, Parrikar said that India needed to step up its defence capabilities in next three years. Small incursions are common across the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the de facto border that runs across the Himalayas, but it is rare for either country to set up camp so deep within disputed territory. Parrikar said all purchases regarding weapons, which are immediately required, would be fast-tracked and would invite the Indian companies keeping in mind the 'Make in India' initiative. Nov 13, 2014
