The Pakistan prime minister is going door-to-door around the world and creating content for cartoonists, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday, a day after Imran Khan raised the Kashmir issue in his address to the UN General Assembly.
Singh also said there are some powers who want to carry out a Mumbai-like attack along India's coastal regions, but their plans will not succeed.
He was speaking after commissioning India's second Scorpene-class submarine INS Khanderi here.
Hitting out at Khan, half of whose speech was on India and Kashmir at the UNGA, and asserting that abrogation of Article 370 provisions was a progressive step, Singh said, "On one side, our progressive steps in Jammu and Kashmir are being accepted across the world, (while on the other) the Pakistan prime minister is creating content for cartoonists by running around door-to-door."
On further advancement of the armed forces, he said, "We are committed to fulfil the requirements of the armed forces in terms of technological advancements and procurement of new machineries..."
"We will leave no stone unturned in order to strengthen the Indian Navy. With its modern weapons, the Navy is not a threat to any peace loving nation," he asserted
On the commissioning of INS Khanderi, he said, "It is a matter of immense pride that India is one of the few countries which can build its own submarines."
"I must congratulate the Navy and Western Naval Command on the induction of this potent combatant, and for achieving very high levels of operational preparedness prior commissioning," Singh said
The submarine needs to surface to reduce the carbon dioxide level inside it and charge batteries, he said
