Defense Minister Ak Antony

Former defence minister AK Antony said allowing 100 per cent FDI in defence meant throwing the sector into the hands of "Nato-American defense manufacturers", which poses a threat to national security.

The Supreme Court will on Friday hear the Army chief's case against the government. Sources in the Ministry of Defense tell NDTV that the government has ruled out any compromise with General VK Singh. Sources say the government has been advised by Defence Minister AK Antony and others that its legal case is strong.

A mission to refloat the MT Pavit, on Monday, was successful. The ship which had run aground on Mumbai's shores, is now being taken to Gujarat.
