Kochi, September 02, 2022 (PPI-OT):Continuing with Indian nefarious hegemonic designs in the region, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commissioned India’s first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant in the coastal city of Kochi in the Indian state of Kerala state on Friday.
The Indian Prime Minister commissioned the carrier, built at a cost of Rs 200 billion, at a function organised at the Cochin Shipyard Limited. With the commissioning of Vikrant, India joined a select group of nations having the niche capability to indigenously design and build an aircraft carrier.
The commissioning ceremony was attended among others by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar and top officials of Navy and Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL). The carrier is equipped with state-of-the-art features.
Meanwhile, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President, Asaduddin Owaisi, questioned whether Narendra Modi has the courage to speak up about China, which, he said, has occupied 10 villages of Indian Territory.
“I also hope this INS Vikrant will give PM Modi the courage to speak up about China which has occupied 10 villages of our territory. Hope the INS will give him enough strength to take China’s name in the parliament,” Owaisi said.
Owaisi added: “While INS Vikrant was launched, we also have to think that we need a 3rd carrier aircraft but he (PM Modi) is not giving permission. That is because he has destroyed the economy of country and has no money. We need 200 ships, but only have 130.”
