Remarking on the fact that India was yet to find a place as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on June 13 that the time had come for the U.N. and its bodies to be “more democratic and representative of the current realities of our age”.
“When India, the most populous nation, does not find a seat as a permanent member of the UNSC, it tends to undermine the moral legitimacy of the U.N. Therefore, the time has come for making the U.N. bodies more democratic and representative of the current realities of our age,” Mr. Singh said speaking at a seminar organised by the Army along with the Centre for Land Warfare Studies and Centre for U.N. Peacekeeping to celebrate 75 years of U.N. peacekeeping.
