Non-alignment will continue to be the fundamental basis of our approach to world problems and our relations with other countries.

There has no doubt to be fundamental research in science, but applied research is equally important for new improvements and changes in our techniques.

The unique thing about our country is that we have Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, and people of all other religions. We have temples and mosques, gurdwaras and churches. But we do not bring all this into politics... This is the difference between India and Pakistan.

We can win respect in the world only if we are strong internally and can banish poverty and unemployment from our country.

Our way is straight and clear - the building up of a socialist democracy at home, with freedom and prosperity for all, and the maintenance of world peace and friendship with all nations abroad.

If Pakistan has any ideas of annexing any part of our territories by force, she should think afresh. I want to state categorically that force will be met with force and aggression against us will never be allowed to succeed.
