He said, ‘Democracy is a culture that is developed step by step through regular practice. For this, free, fair and impartial elections are necessary. At the same time, to keep democracy effective, it is necessary to give adequate space to the opponents and opposition parties. And that is the beauty of democracy. Democracy must be allowed to run effectively at its own pace.’
