Lawyers on Friday took out a massive "peaceful" protest march against "anti-national" sloganeering at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and burnt an effigy of "traitors of the country".

The lawyers, who took out the march from the Patiala House court, raised "nationalistic" slogans against those who raised anti-national slogans.

"We will not accept any anti-national element to raise slogans against our country. This is highly condemnable. The lawyers' fraternity opposes such sloganeering," one of the protesters told ANI.

Holding Tricolours, the protesting lawyers marched towards the India Gate, while chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram', some of them were even heard saying 'Pakistan Murdabad'.

 

The lawyers further reiterated that they were protesting against 'anti-national' forces in the national capital.
