Taking a dig at the government Narendra Modi said, "Today our rupee is in ICU, I don't know why the Tamil people sent this person (Finance Minister P Chidambaram) to Delhi. Manmohan Singh can't even find support in his own party."

He said, "No country has suffered more from terrorism than India. It is central to our foreign policy that terrorism is driven from abroad. In the past 50 years, in all world forums, Pakistan has been able bring Kashmir to the centrestage. Atalji brought the focus to terrorism and those countries supporting terrorism were isolated," he said as he spoke at the Madras University.

"In the recent past our approach against terrorism has been weak. Modern warfare will be proxy wars -- this includes cyber attacks. Higher walls made by human lives will not be enough, made by human minds are also not enough -- what we need is walls of hearts against such attacks. And this is where India's strengths lie," he said.

"Strong economy is the driver of an effective foreign policy. We have to put our own house in order that the world gets attracted to us."
This will give us the bargaining power at some point of time.
Once the PM was going to the G8, and I wrote to him saying why can't India form its own club? I had mooted the idea of all countries which can garner solar energy - but you know what would have happened.
