Panaji: Union Defence Minister A K Antony
on Saturday said that there could be a fall-out of the killing of
al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
"Yesterday, in the meeting (with the army top brass) I
have explained my assessment of the possible security scenario
after the bin Laden incident. There can be a fall-out, so we
need to be more vigilant," he said here while answering a
question.
The minister was talking to reporters at Vasco, near
here, where he had come to commission first and second phase
of Goa Shipyard Limited's modernisation project.
"I can assure you that our armed forces are on guard," he
said.
He also said the growing relations between China and
Pakistan was a matter of concern. "But the real answer to it
is that we have to strengthen our capabilities, and precisely
that is what we are doing."
