"Unless you reply to Pakistan in the language it understands, terrorism will not be wiped out from this country and the UPA is incapable of doing this," he said addressing a public meeting in Pimpalgaon near Nashik on Wednesday.

Modi said 26/11 happened because of the UPA's 'ineffectiveness'. The Government compromised on national security because of their vote bank politics, he added.

He said, "26/11 was a war on India, but our government sends letters to Pakistan and Pakistan has the audacity to respond with 30 questions."

"Give me those questions and I will teach the government how to respond," he said.

Questioning Manmohan Singh's leadership capabilities, he claimed that not a single Congressman in the country says that Manmohan Singh is their leader.

"They take somebody else's name. Have you seen such a situation where the PM of the country is not accepted as the leader by his own part. How can he run the country?" he asked.
