New Delhi: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said India needed to be militarily better prepared against China.
Speaking at Vijay Dashami function of RSS, Bhagwat called upon the government to forge an alliance against ‘expansionist’ China with immediate neighbours like Nepal, Sri Lanka and others.
Referring to the border tension between the two countries that led to violent flare-up earlier in the Galwan Valley, he said though India’s defence forces, government and people responded sharply to China’s efforts to invade, the country needed to remain cautious.
“It (China) didn’t expect this (response). So we don’t know how it will react. So what is the way forward? It is alertness and preparedness. We need to be more powerful than China in military preparedness, economic conditions, international relations and relation with neighboring nations,” a news agency quoted Bhagwat as saying.
