'Manan Mishra ji alarms are ringing': CJP's dig as BCI Co-Chair gets behind resignation demand
BCI Co-Chairman and senior advocate YR Sadashiva Reddy has sought Mishra’s resignation, saying “the Bar deserves better”.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) co-chairman, Manan Kumar Mishra, faced a fresh wave of criticism after the party's co-chairman, YR Sadashiva Reddy, demanded his resignation. The call for Mishra's resignation came after the BCI chairman dismissed calls for his resignation and accused the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) of using derogatory language by referring to lawyers as "legal cockroaches."
Mishra stated that a lawyer cannot be a cockroach and that they belong to a respected class of intelligent individuals. The BCI chairman's tenure has been challenged in the Supreme Court, with a petition contending that his continuous tenure violates Rule 12(2) of the BCI Rules. The petition also questioned the political activities of Mishra, who became a Rajya Sabha member after being nominated by the BJP in 2024.
