“I respect Anna. I am a law minister…as per my understanding a person is hanged in rarest of rare cases, especially relating to murder.
“If somone has other knowledge on law, I am prepared to learn from him. I will try to understand more about law,” Khurshid said taking a dig at social crusader Hazare.
“Singhvi should be hanged if found guilty,” Hazare had said on Friday day at Beed in Maharashtra while touring the state for a stronger Lokayukta Act.
On the presidential election, Khurshid said the country would get a “good president”.
