Lawyers in Delhi strike, opposing a bill they say threatens their independence and diversity.

Lawyers in Delhi are striking to protest the proposed Advocates (Amendment) Bill, which they claim is unjust and threatens their independence. The bill, drafted by the Union Law Ministry, aims to modernize legal practices and allow foreign law firms in India, but critics fear it will undermine the bar's autonomy and diversity. The Delhi Bar Association has called for a strike in all District Courts to oppose the amendments.
