Mysuru Bar association members demand Siddaramaiah to withdraw his statement

The association had taken a similar decision in the recent past. Siddaramaiah is being misled by a few advocates, alleged Bar Association president Anand Kumar

Mysuru Bar Association members on Thursday demanded former chief minister Siddaramaiah to withdraw his statements against advocates not taking up a sedition case.

The members, led by Mysuru Bar Association president Anand Kumar, staged a protest and demanded Siddaramaiah to withdraw his statements. Siddaramaiah had condemned Bar Association members for passing a resolution prohibiting the members from defending B Nalini, who displayed ‘Free Kashmir’ placard during a protest recently.

The association also had directed a lawyer, who had appeared for Nalini to obtain bail, not to appear for her in the future.

In a press conference, here, Anand said, Siddaramaiah should withdraw his comments. The association had taken a similar decision in the recent past. Siddaramaiah is being misled by a few advocates, he alleged.
