Protest Demands Resignation of BCI Chairman Over NALSAR Enrolment Controversy
A protest is planned against Bar Council of India (BCI) Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, called by the All India Young Advocates Association and supported by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demanding his resignation over the BCI's withdrawn directive barring enrolment of NALSAR University's 2026 graduating batch. The controversy arose after students opposed Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's convocation participation, leading to criticism of Mishra's conduct from legal bodies including the Bombay Bar Association. Mishra apologized and the BCI withdrew the order but continues its inquiry.
