India Gate right place for war memorial: Antony

December 16, 2012 15:01

India Gate is the right place to build a national war memorial, Defence Minister A K Antony has said, against the backdrop of opposition by Delhi Chief

Minister Sheila Dikshit to the proposal.

"As far as we are concerned, this (India Gate) is the place to have a war memorial. We are very clear," he told reporters after laying a wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti to commemorate the 41st anniversary of the Indian victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan.

The defence minister was asked to react to the separate letters written by the Delhi chief minister opposing the construction of the war memorial at India Gate.
