EXPERT VIEWS

(At the 5th India, Brazil South Africa summit in Pretoria "We hope that effective steps will be taken by Europe and other economies to calm the capital and financial markets to prevent the global economy from slipping into a double dip recession."

Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister
"We don't take our internal weaknesses lightly. This thing was vindicated in Karnataka clearly. We had cautioned him (Yeddyurappa) but once the report (of Lokayukta on illegal mining) came, he had to quit. Small mistakes by others is embarrassing the party leadership. There may be chances of a slip up so I am telling every one in the party to remain vigilant."

L K Advani
Senior BJP Leader
"Finance chiefs from the group of 20 rich and developing nations should listen to the people and come up with "actionable plans" to fix the problems. Business as usual, or just looking at their own internal economic issues, will not give any answers to a very serious international economic crisis."

Ban Ki-moon
UN Secretary General
