Here are the highlights of what the 74-year-old Gandhian said at his press conference:
- Government attempting to weaken Lokpal
- The government's intentions are not clean
- We had raised three important issues - Citizen's Charter, get all government employees in the ambit of Lokpal and each state should have its own Lokayukta.
- The Standing Committee has not acted on the resolution on these three points, which were also included in the resolution passed by the Parliament, which had agreed to us in principle
- Many states have opposed FDI. It is not good for the people
- It is a democracy, people's wishes should be counted
- I have been telling people: Do not compare me to Mahatma Gandhi
