THe Defence Production Policy unveiled by the Defence Minister A.K.Antony proposing private participation in Defence Production. So far these productions were being made in the nine defence PSUs and 50 and odd Ordnance Factories. The new defence policy is according to the privatisation, globalisation policies. * We will protect the PSUs, strengthen them, and at the same time bring in the private sector by reducing the space for foreign suppliers” the policy states. But the people and workers know from their own experiences that these are for propaganda sake to hood wink the people and gradually privatise the defence production and also bring in more foreign companies as in the case of telecom.
It is time for the defence workers to resist and defeat the proposals which are a threat to the security of the country.
