Bangladesh, the “so-called friend” of India, also poses a security threat to the country besides China and Pakistan, Union minister Hansraj Ahir said on Thursday. Referring to the recent incursion bids made by China, he said, “China today is not a very close friend of ours, it has always raised problems for the country. And be it China, Myanmar, Bangladesh or terrorists coming into India through Pakistan, we...will promote the usage of various modern technologies to curb intrusion.”Ahir also welcomed the efforts being made to build a consensus to resolve the Ayodhya dispute, the release said. He said the government would look into the demands and suggestions of the industry but it must come up with indigenously developed smart technologies and the government would help in research and development in this regard. The minister said the government would work in tandem with the private industry to deal with all homeland security- related threats and challenges faced by the country, the ASSOCHAM release said.
