| | "Even earlier there were two drafts, then what was the need for this joint committee. It was a waste of time then. I will attend the June 20 meeting. Let's see what they say in the last two meetings. They'll follow their path, we'll follow ours. When they are doing injustice to the nation, we'll follow our path."
Anna Hazare
Social Activist "If these risks materialize (slowdown in U.S. recovery and Europe crisis), they will reverberate across the rest of the world - possibly seriously impairing funding conditions for banks and corporations in advanced economies and undercutting capital flows to emerging economies."
World Economic Outlook
IMF Report, April 2011 "We will achieve the target of generating 600 million unique identity cards (UID) by 2014. Till now we have generated 95 lakh and enrolled around two crore people."
