Defence Minister A K Antony today dismissed that the Army was raising two new mountain divisions in the North-East, along the borders with China due to any conflict with the neighbour. He said that these are being raised under the overall policies to strengthen presence of the armed forces in the North-East to act as a deterrent. Addressing a press conference on the occasion of the Sixth DefExpo in New Delhi the Defence Minister asserted that India is not a war-mongering country and has not invaded even an inch of soil of any other country ever but added that every inch of the territory will be defended.<br/>The defence minister, however, maintained that there is a long pending border dispute, but both India and China are trying for an amicable solution through discussions. He said India had embarked on a modernisation programme for its armed forces that included securing the 7,500-km long coastline where the Navy and the Coast Guard were being strengthened. <br/>
