Secretary of The Tripura Bar Association, Arindam Lodh said the advocates of the state would cease work for two days to oppose the Higher Educational Institutions Bill, 2010 as it was against the interest of the lawyers of the country.
"The manner in which the the bill was drafted and sought to be introduced by the HRD ministry, it (the bill) clandestinely tries to sideline and harm the advocates of the country and their elected statutory bodies in the matter of legal education and legal profession", he said.
Lodh said the decision to ceasework for two days was taken at a general body meeting of the Tripura Bar Association (TBA) held here yesterday.
