00:00The present government is putting a lot of effort to become self-reliant in the field of defence.
00:04As a soldier, I feel it is very important.
00:07Because if weapons are made in our country, they will be made cheaper,
00:10they will be made according to the needs of our country,
00:13and we will have faith in them, they know what we want.
00:16Looking at all this, if you see,
00:18more than 21,000 crores were exported last year.
00:22And in 2024-2025, it is being thought that 35,000 crores should be exported.
00:27If you see, in every corner of the world, India is exporting its weapons.
00:31Whether it is a Latin American country, Africa, the Middle East, or the Philippines.
00:36Here, in all the countries, because today they are understanding
00:39how modern and strong India's weapons are,
00:42and we are exporting all kinds of weapons.
00:45There are many benefits of this.
00:46On one hand, we get foreign exchange, people get jobs,
00:50and there is self-reliance in the country.
00:52On the other hand, the people we export our weapons to,
00:55we have a good friendship with them.
00:57This question is being raised,
00:59why was General Manoj Pandey given an extension,
01:03when he was retiring on the 31st of March?
01:06And later, the new Chief was announced to the Vice-Chief.
01:11Look, the first thing is,
01:13the atmosphere at that time, it had reached the final stages of the elections.
01:16Maybe the government thought that it would not be right to change the Chief at this time.
01:20And it would be better for the new government to appoint the new Chief.
01:25The second thing is, all the obstacles that were being put up,
01:28they have been answered.
01:30Because the Vice-Chief has been declared the new Chief.
01:35And the process of becoming the Chief,
01:39starts three months before.
01:41The appointment committee decides,
01:45in which the five Army Commanders and the Vice-Chief can be considered,
01:49anyone can be made the Chief.
01:52The process of becoming the Army Chief is absolutely clear.
01:55Where both seniority and efficiency are mixed.
01:59The appointment committee between the five Army Commanders and the Vice-Chief,
02:03decides who will be the next Chief.
02:06As soon as they are appointed, the next Chief is made.
