After CJP Protest Crackdown, Lawyers To Recite Preamble At Supreme Court Lawn
Over 650 lawyers have condemned the police crackdown on student protesters and plan to gather at the Supreme Court lawn to recite the Preamble. The legal community describes the recent state response to student marches as a Direct attack on India's constitutional values.
A group of more than 650 lawyers issued a formal statement on Wednesday expressing deep concern over the police action taken against students marching toward Parliament. The legal professionals characterized the crackdown as an infringement on the fundamental rights of citizens to protest peacefully.
To mark their dissent, the lawyers have announced a gathering on the Supreme Court lawn where they intend to recite the Preamble of the Constitution. This act is intended to reaffirm their commitment to democratic principles and civil liberties in the face of increasing state intervention.
The statement highlights that the student-led march, organized by groups including the CJP, was met with force that the lawyers deem disproportionate. They argue that such measures undermine the democratic space necessary for public discourse and advocacy. Source: Scroll.in
