National security calls for realistic approach: Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari

Chandigarh, December 28

Anandpur Sahib MP and Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari on Tuesday said India’s security approach should be based on realism and humility.

“You either increase the defence budget exponentially or bring down the security threat,” Tewari said during the launch of his book “10 Flashpoints; 20 Years”.

The book was released by former Chief of Army Staff General VP Malik. The event was organised by the Chandigarh Literary Society with Rupa Publications.

The former Union Minister said India was in a difficult situation as far as the security was concerned. He said the issue needed to be settled with China. For that, he added, it could be done with a sense of realism and humility and not with a sense of jingoism. — TNS
