He said the constitution was being reviewed and other groups had presented their proposed amendments.
Museveni criticised the anti-third term groups for attacking the proposal, while supporting other proposed amendments like the return to multiparty democracy.
He dismissed fears that if presidential term limits are removed, there will be political turmoil.
