Arun Jaitley to NDTV after taking charge as Defence Minister:
MoD (Ministry of Defence) is an additional charge till alternative arrangement is made
Should get a full-time ministerial head in a couple of weeks
Will spend considerable time
Security of India is of vital importance
Support to our armed forces and equipment support is going to be priority area
Expediting procurement is a priority area
My heart goes out to the pilot and his family. Matter of great concern (today's accident)... Offer my condolences
Raising the cap of FDI in defence from the current 26 per cent has already come up for discussion in the finance ministry. 26 per cent was decided when Mr Vajpayee was in power
I firmly believe that there should be no controversy on appointment of the person concerned. Some comments may have been made as regards the procedure of a person's appointment but there should be no reflection on the person concerned (on the appointment of the Army Chief by previous government)
