China greater threat than Pak: Shourie

Shourie said China had been entering into countries with ‘comprehensive national strength’ with long term objectives.

He said the external situation of India was very ominous since the country was surrounded by ‘failed states’. Shourie, however, said that since Pakistan was busy with its own problems now, this had given some respite to India as the number of killings had come down significantly in Kashmir.

The BJP MP said the country’s internal security was also in peril since there was no ‘functioning government’.
