Lieutenant General Mohanty said incidents in Doklam and Galwan enhanced the prestige of the country and gave it a ''big stature''
Vice Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General C P Mohanty today said that if India wouldn't have invested in its armed forces, then the country would have lost the battles in Galwan and Doklam. It is the role of armed forces to ensure peace, be it internal or external. If Tibet had strong armed forces, they never would have been invaded.

"Had the country not invested in security, we would have lost probably the war in Kargil, Doklam. Even internal security in Jammu and Kashmir would have been in turmoil. Our northeast region would have been in turmoil and Naxals would have had a field day," Lieutenant General Mohanty said at an event.
Responding to arguments on expenditure on armed forces, he said, "If Tibet had strong armed forces, they would have never been invaded."
