Though the Army Chief did not name the Maoists, Singh
said "internal dissent" and insurgencies in Jammu and Kashmir
and the North East were the other threats that needed
attention.
He also cautioned about the challenges posed by
nuclear proliferation in India's neighbourhood, but did not
name any country in this regard.
He also warned about the dangers posed by "weaker
nations" in India's neighbourhood resorting to "asymmetric
warfare" against larger and more powerful countries to
destabilise their growth.
Singh said India's role in assisting the global
community in addressing its concerns had increased in recent
times, particularly its contribution to the United Nations
peace-keeping missions.
Talking about modernisation of the armed forces,
Singh said India's defence infrastructure was complementary to
its economic development and attaining primacy in the new
world order.
He said the armed forces' role in India was to
contribute to and ensure its "independence, strategic role,
autonomy and deterrence." PTI NCB
