IAF unperturbed by reports of China selling jets to Pak
New Delhi, Nov 13 (PTI) Unperturbed by reports of
China selling 36 advanced fighter jets to Pakistan or plans to
launch an intelligence satellite, the Indian Air Force (IAF)
Friday said there was "nothing to worry" as Indian armed
forces were capable of protecting country's interest.
"Do not worry and do not make people worry. Our
country is strong enough. Our Army, Navy and Air Force are
capable of looking after the interest of our country," Naik
told reporters here on the sidelines of an aerospace medicine
seminar.
He was responding to queries if the Chinese selling
J-10 fighter jets to Pakistan and their plans to launch an
intelligence satellite soon was a worry to India.
"When a sovereign country interacts with another
country, there is no issue over selling weapons. It is up to
them," he said on the fighter jet sales.
Naik said several countries had intelligence
satellites and there were several types of satellites in space
today.
"However, we have stated that we are not for
militarisation of space and the entire world has said that it
is not for militarisation of space," he said.
"What China has been doing...we have nothing to do
about it. It is their problem. Let them do anything. Do not
worry, we are capable of taking care of the country," he
added. PTI
