Chandigarh, Dec 13 (UNI) Punjab Governor V P Singh Badnore on Friday inaugurated the 3rd edition of annual Military Literature Festival (MLF) here envisaging that India would become self-reliant on manufacturing its own defence weapons with cutting edge technology.
Kick-starting the three-day Military extravaganza from December 13 to 15 with galaxy of military historians, serving and retired military officers, researchers, academicians, hundreds of school-children, authors and delegates from across the country and foreign shores, the Governor fondly remembered and paid tributes to the martyrs of Parliament attack, who made supreme sacrifice while defending the ‘temple of democracy’ on this day in 2001.
Mr Badnore said, "Our nation had come a long way since Independence in 1947, which was no longer dependent upon food or aid from abroad and in fact provide aid to other weaker nations. We have had to rely upon war material from other countries but slowly, we aim to become self-reliant making our own weapon systems with cutting edge technology and already Rs 3,000 crore worth of defence equipment was being made in India. 'Make in India' for defence systems is no longer a mere slogan but a reality. Very soon we shall be fighting securing our nation with a totally indigenously designed and manufactured weapons and equipment inventory."
