Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, publicly condemned the demolition of lawyers' chambers near the Qaiserbagh Civil Court and district sessions court in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. He described the action as 'utterly deplorable and highly condemnable,' criticizing the lack of alternative arrangements for the affected lawyers and the use of force, including a lathi charge, against them. Yadav raised concerns about the impact of such actions on the justice system, questioning how common citizens could expect justice if advocates are treated unjustly. He accused the administration of selective enforcement, particularly against lawyers while protecting members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). To address this, Yadav suggested that lawyers in Uttar Pradesh should investigate properties associated with BJP members to challenge any illegal constructions through court petitions. He also invoked the historical role of lawyers in India's freedom struggle, asserting their unity could combat corruption. Furthermore, Yadav called for immediate medical assistance and compensation for lawyers injured during the police action, emphasizing the need for justice and support for the legal community.
