Claiming that certain "outsiders" in lawyers' robes indulged in violence, the Cordination Committee of all District Court Bar Associations demanded a "fair" inquiry into the incidents.
Condemning the violence, Advocate R K Wadhwa, chairman of the committee, said in a press release they would request the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court to ensure that entry to the court premises should be monitored and security of judicial officers, lawyers and litigants be given "prime importance".
Meanwhile in Karkardooma courts, lawyers held a candle light march for national integrity and against "victimisation" of lawyers.
Chauhan, who has been bragging on social media about how the lawyers had taught "anti-nationals" a lesson in Patiala House complex, was garlanded.
However, Advocate Mahesh Sharma, President of Shahdara Bar Association, rejected media reports in this regard. "Advocates are being shown in bad light. They are termed as goons and criminals. It is wrong," Sharma said.
The coordination committee also said they would stage a protest march at India gate tomorrow against the alleged anti -national activities at the JNU complex.
