Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar dared enemies to shoot him, saying he had given up his official bullet-proof Ambassador and was using a non-bullet proof vehicle.

"The car stopped after every two days. I bid goodbye to the Ambassador and asked for a regular white car without bullet proofing. If someone wants to shoot me, shoot me. But as far as those who wish to shoot these bullets are concerned, we will not let them reach Delhi alive," Parrikar said.

The Defence Minister was speaking at an election rally in Aldona village in North Goa, 20 kms from Panaji.
