NEW DELHI: As the government braced to deal with the agitation threatened by Anna Hazare, law minister Salman Khurshid tonight said the government will do whatever is good for the country.
"We are not accepting anybody's demand. We are doing what is good for the country," he told PTI when asked whether the government accepts Hazare's demands.
Queried whether the government was confident of averting the next agitation by Hazare, he said, "Agitation, I cannot speak of. But we will do our job. We will do something good for the country. I am confident we will do what we need to do."
Earlier in the day, he said Parliamentary democracy is based on discussion and there should be discussion on every issue.
Asked whether opposition did the right thing in discussing Lokpal issue outside Parliament, Khurshid said, "This should also be discussed in Parliament."
Opposition parties had shared dais with Hazare on Sunday at his fast venue and participated in a debate on Lokpal.
