Chandigarh, September 8: To protest against the police lathicharge on lawyers in Lucknow, advocates of district courts today sat on a dharna from 10 am to 12 pm. However, work at court was not affected. As a show of protest, the advocates also wore red badges throughout the day.
A two-hour protest was also observed by the members of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar association at the High Court today. Secretary of the BJP legal cell Deepak Balyan said it was absolutely uncalled for on the part of the police to resort to such an action against the lawyers. "This is no way to operate.
