BENGALURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who is facing the Lokayukta and ED probes on the MUDA 'scam', on Wednesday quoted Mahatma Gandhi, who said the "court of conscience" was above all courts.

He said Gandhi might have been killed, but his ideals cannot be killed; truth and non-violence cannot be killed.

"Mahatma Gandhi ji had said there is a highest court above all our courts and that is the court of conscience, it surpasses all the other courts.... sometimes everyone may not get justice from the courts, but I can clearly say that, as Gandhi ji said – the courts we see cannot be above this court of conscience," Siddaramaiah said.
