Home Minister P Chidambaram has said hefty allocation for defence is necessary and inevitable as neighbours like Pakistan not having a friendly attitude towards India.<br/><br/>Speaking at a meeting organised by Puducherry Pradesh Congress Committee last night, he said had the neighbouring countries been stable, peaceful and were oriented in a friendly manner towards India, our allocation of such a big fund for defence in the budget would not have arisen. <br/><br/>Referring to internal security, Chidambaram said the budget for the current fiscal is expected to be 40,000 crore rupees to address the requirements of paramilitary forces and the police.<br/><br/>The Home Minister said terrorists, divisive forces and Naxals are on the prowl fomenting violence by exploiting and intimidating the poor and have-nots and more particularly the tribal people. <br/><br/>He said, allocating such amount becomes necessary to manage the machinations of these elements. <br/>
