NEW DELHI: Hundreds of students, activists and people from the Northeast protested on Tuesday against lawyers of the Tis Hazari court who allegedly assaulted youths from the region and a woman lawyer recently.
The youths were assaulted while accompanying the woman lawyer, also from the Northeast , who was allegedly molested by a lawyer near the Vishwavidyalaya Metro station last week. The lawyers probably attacked them because a fellow lawyer was accused in the molestation case, the youths said.
On Tuesday, when the protesters demanded that the licences of the accused lawyers be revoked , members of the Bar Council of India met them and assured action. They also accepted their memorandum and promised to inform the Bar Council of Delhi about the issue. They said they will ask the council in Delhi to investigate the matter and take action within a month.
Apart from students from the Northeast, women lawyers' collectives, women's rights groups, and members of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU), Students Federation of India (SFI), All India Students Association (AISA) among others joined the protest , holding placards and shouting slogans such as 'Tis Hazari lawyers shame shame' and 'racism down down'.
"It is so demoralizing to see lawyers, who play an important role in ensuring justice, assault people like this," said Asem Newnai, a research scholar from JNU. Anjan Chamuah, another JNU student from Assam said, "They treat us differently only because we have mongoloid features. This has to stop now" . The protesters—most of them wearing black clothes as a mark of protest— marched from Hindi Bhavan to the Bar Council of India building but were stopped midway. Following a negotiation with the cops, they managed to reach the building and interact with the members.
