He however admitted the need of fixing weaknesses seen in the process of the implementation of democratic system.

“The government is responsible accountable to the people in democratic system. In this system, the government is not a ruler but a manager and server”, the PM argued, claiming that their mission was good governance and prosperity.

He ruled out the essence of law if no one turns anarchic.
