In a situation of heavy pressure on the economy, while also confronting an intrusion by Chinese troops on the border in Ladakh, the government has kept the defence budget at approximately the same level as the current year, allocating Rs 4.78 trillion for 2021-22. The revised estimates for 2020-21 indicate that the military has spent Rs 4.84 trillion this year, a significantly higher amount than what was allocated in February 2020. The reason for this is learnt to be the emergency procurement of arms and ammunition that was triggered by the Chinese intrusions into Ladakh last April. Against Rs 1.18 trillion allocated for capital spending in the current year, the government spent Rs 1.37 trillion – almost Rs 20,000 crore extra.

The Army said Gen Rawat visited forward air force bases in the Eastern sector and interacted with personnel of the Special Frontier Force (SFF), the Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) deployed at the forward most air maintained posts in Dibang Valley and Lohit sector.

New Delhi: Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi and other Congress MPs on Wednesday walked out of a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence after its chairman Jual Oram of the BJP stopped him from raising the issue of Chinese aggression along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh.
Party leaders said Rahul wanted to discuss whether national security was in jeopardy with the Chinese forces occupying Indian territory in Ladakh. Since the standing committee meetings are held in camera, nobody is ready to speak on record, lest he is hauled up for breach of privilege. But, from all accounts, the confrontation took place during a discussion on the uniforms of the Army, Navy and Air Force in the presence of the Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat.
