Govt should reconsider its decision of sharing military logistics with US: Antony

Former Defence Minister and Congress leader A K Antony has said that the government should reconsider its decision on agreeing in-principle to share military logistics with US. Talking to a news agency recently, Mr Antony said, such a decision may have repercussion on New Delhi's independent foreign policy and strategic autonomy. He said the decision is an evasion of India's policy followed since independence. <br/><br/>Two days back, India and the US have agreed in principle to conclude a logistics exchange agreement to enable both militaries to use each other's assets and bases for repair and replenishment of supplies. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, during the visit of US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter, made it clear that the agreement, which will be signed in coming months, does not entail deployment of American troops on Indian soil.
