Manipur lawyers protest ‘outsider’ Advocate General

Imphal, April 18 (IANS) The High Court Bar Association of Manipur on Tuesday staged a protest here against a government proposal to appoint a lawyer from Andhra Pradesh as the new Advocate General.

The lawyers submitted a memorandum urging Chief Minister N. Biren Singh to pick an Advocate General from among local lawyers.

K. Binoykumar, President of the Bar Association, said: "Being a non-local with no knowledge of the state's language, the proposed AG shall not be able to discharge his duties properly."
