This fear is unfounded, … We are capable of preventing unnecessary imports and can impose import duties or increase existing duties as required.

It has been decided to appoint a high commissioner in Pakistan and to restore civil aviation links,

We have proved that India is neither a proliferation threat nor an exporter of sensitive nuclear or missile technology. This cannot be said to be true of all parties to the NPT,

They are running their camps. Groups of militants are being sent into India, … They are killing the innocents, women and children are being targeted. How can a meaningful dialogue take place in this atmosphere?

There are differences. There have been clashes. There is the problem of cross-country terrorism. Innocent people are being killed. But there is no threat of any war.

We are ready to discuss issues with Pakistan. India stands for dialogue, we believe in an exchange of views. We believe in negotiations to solve problems.

It is true that the pace of economic growth has slowed in recent months, but this is temporary,

We’re committed to the improvement of relations with Pakistan and are willing to grasp at every opportunity for doing so.

The nation will miss him.

We must be prepared for sacrifices,

Terrorism and dialogue cannot go together. Pakistan is not prepared to listen. The overwhelming sentiment in India is that no meaningful dialogue can be held until Pakistan abandons the use of terrorism,

The world community should understand that there is a limit to India’s patience,

There is no cause for us to be unduly worried, as our economic fundamentals are strong.

Whatever I have seen, I will never be able to forget it. This is a temple, a sacred spot, no terrorist should be allowed here,

We will build on this to further increase the areas of agreement. Obviously, India’s concerns in vital areas such as cross-border terrorism will have to find place in any document that future negotiations endeavor to...

Our goal is victory. It’s time to wage a decisive battle.

it will take some time.

We will repulse each of their attacks, … For the past two decades, we have been fighting terrorism, now the battle has reached its final phase.

Pakistan has adopted cross-border terrorism as an instrument of state policy to further its hostility toward India,

I don’t think that the game is over.

There is no need for any mediation. It is a bilateral issue and we will resolve it,

India will not bow to such barbaric acts and won’t be afraid

The changes have been made to strengthen the party and for the smooth working of the government,

The international community has agreed that no country will allow its soil to be used actively or passively to finance, shelter, arm, or train terrorist groups.

We mourn with you in this moment of grief. Our hearts go out to the bright young men and women who were on that spacecraft. For us in India, we felt that since one of...

There has been no change in Pakistan’s policy so far as cross-border infiltration is concerned. Every day we are getting reports that infiltration continues unabated,

for over two decades now India has waged a virtually lonely struggle against terrorism.

A meeting ground will have to be found. Our efforts will be directed towards that,

India has no dearth of brave young men and women and if they get the opportunity and help then we can compete with other nations in space exploration and one of them will fulfil her...

I extend my hand of alliance to them,

It’s a bold and historic initiative that will change the country’s water management paradigm.

a deplorable act, that must be formally opposed.

The question is not whether there should be a war or not, … The question to be debated is in what circumstances there could be a war.

Pakistan couldn’t take Kashmir through wars. There should be no illusion that it could get it through supporting terrorism

Before there were many violent attacks and then the revenge for that is taken somewhere else and this violence continues — this will have to be stopped.

If Pakistan had not agreed to end infiltration, and America had not conveyed that guarantee to India, then war would not have been averted,

India’s culture is not one of aggression or violence. It is based on peace and sacrifice …. We want to live in peace with our neighbors and respect their culture,

The government is determined to keep this peace,

We welcome every move towards lightening the shadow of the nuclear terror under which we live today,

I’m sure after visiting this part of the world the president will come to the conclusion that the situation is not so bad as it is made out to be,

This proposal is not acceptable to us, … Pakistan’s nuclear program is India-specific, but we are not just worried about Pakistan. We are also concerned about the situation in countries around us.

When the blood dries, the stains will remain and there will be a challenge to us, that we have to fight and defeat terrorism and we will take everyone’s cooperation for this.
