Jodhpur, Mar 4(IBNS) President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday said India is committed to peace and stability for which the country needs an effective deterrence and a strong force.

While the nation is striving for an all-round economic growth and social empowerment of its citizens, we remain equally focused on building our defence capability that safeguards our sovereignty and territorial integrity."
