Clear-cut policy will be in place by January on having representatives for defence purchases, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said.

A policy will be in place to decide on the issue of blacklisting firms, Parrikar said.

He added that the Government is seriously considering implementing the ‘one rank one pension policy’ and an announcement would be made in four to eight weeks.

There has to be some strong response, which will once and for all end or at least reduce these blatant attacks, Parrikar said on terror attacks emanating from Pakistan.
