Giving further details regarding the movement, he said that it seeks to purify the political, administrative, and legal system of India. Swami Ramdev feels that criminal activity can be curbed only when education, health, administrative, and judicial system are first cleansed of corruption. Speaking in favor of free and equal education and uniform legal system for all, he said that the laws formulated by the British rulers to crush Indians who rose in rebellion against them in the past have now become redundant.
