And on 22 April, 2017 Protest March in Delhi from Patiala House to Rajghat in court dress by Lawyers, in case of Recommendations are not still rejected.
And finally at last, Jail Bharo campaign, if demands of rejection of recommendations are not accepted even then.

United we stand, divided we fall
ReplyDeleteWe are with you BCI, the bill should not be passed in any way
ReplyDeleteBCI proposed action is good. We are standing with you
ReplyDeleteBCI's action plan is fine. Besides street demonstrations, lobbying with Parliamentarians may serve the purpose. Social security provisions for newly enrolled advocates is the need of the hour.
