Want to manufacture BrahMos to defend Indian people-Rajnath Singh

Defence minster Rajnath Singh has said that India wants to manufacture BrahMos missiles so that no other country has the audacity to cast an evil eye on it. Stressing the need for maintaining nuclear deterrents, Singh said India is manufacturing the BrahMos missile and other weapons not to attack any country but to defend its people against “any nation with hostile intentions.” He was speaking at the foundation stone laying function of the Defence Technologies and Test Centre and the BrahMos Manufacturing Centre in Lucknow on Sunday..

The state-of-the-art facilities will prove to be an important milestone in the defence sector. The establishment of these units will generate revenue; provide employment opportunities to the youth and help in achieving ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ envisioned by PM Shri @narendramodi.
