Lawyers’ Forum to Protest LADC

Hoshiarpur/Daljeet Ajnoha /July 28 : The lawyers’ group “Vakil Bhaichara” has come together to oppose the LADC policy, which they say promotes crime and jeopardizes lawyers’ futures, and will stage a protest at Jantar Mantar on August 7. The demonstration has been formally approved by the Delhi administration, District Bar Association secretary Advocate Navjinder Singh Bedi said.
Advocate Bedi said the protest will be held peacefully on August 7 from 2 pm to 5 pm to rouse the central government into revoking the policy. He argued that implementation of the LADC policy would not only undermine the professional prospects of advocates but also encourage criminal activity. Accordingly, bar councils and associations across the country are united in their opposition and are fighting the policy collectively.
