Dear Bar Council of India,

Guessing that you must be occupied in doing something extremely important, I shall refrain from reiterataing the events involving members of the legal fraternity in the Capital since past 6 days. I will directly come to the point and hope that you will have an answer to a very basic question of mine i.e What has the Bar Council of India done or intends to do with respect to the Lawyers involved in violent and completely unaccetable behaviour including but not limited to physically assaulting journalists and students within the Court Premises? Really, within the court premises.

I wonder how this has missed your attention or rather what is so grave and important that BCI is engrossed in, which disabled it from even issuing a statement condemning such conduct on part of certain members of the legal fraternity (If not atleast take action against them).

If there was any opportune moment to prove your relevance, it is now. But how unfortunate that you maintain a studied quiet while our profession and its ethics are under direct attack and question.

Regards,

An embaressed lawyer
