Guwahati: Arunachal Pradesh minister Balo Raja offered no comparisons between the Indian and Chinese armies, suggesting that one should watch the spy thriller ‘Dhurandhar’ to see how strong Indian intelligence is.Asked about ITBP Director General Shatrujeet Singh Kapur’s remark that China has moved far ahead of India in modern warfare recently in Itanagar, Raja, who holds the urban affairs, land management and civil aviation portfolios, said, “Being the ITBP chief, why give such a statement and think himself as weak. We are not weak. India is very strong at present. Watch Dhurandhar (see) how strong is India’s intelligence.”Speaking at the Himveer Samman Samaroh in Alwar, Rajasthan, on Thursday, the ITBP DG said face-offs with Chinese troops at several locations in Arunachal Pradesh were still going on. He also said it may be very difficult to counter China by conventional means, since the PLA has gone far ahead in investment and modernisation.The minister’s reply has drawn attention, turning a question on border security into a moment of national confidence with a touch of cinema.
