  "account": "NEW DELHI: The All India Young Advocates Association (AIYAA) is organizing a protest against Bar Council of India (BCI) chief Manan Kumar Mishra for his controversial directive concerning NALSAR University law students. The protest organizer, Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), invited \"legal cockroaches\" to join the demonstration. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das tweeted, \"All legal cockroaches must join this protest.\" The event is scheduled for 10 am. Ratna Singh, legal affairs head of the CJP, supported the protest, stating that legal professionals should demand accountability. Mishra apologized for any hurt caused to NALSAR students over a proposal to invite Chief Justice Surya Kant as the convocation's chief guest. The BCI initially banned the NALSAR students from enrolling in the current graduating batch as advocates, but the directive was withdrawn. Mishra later encouraged peaceful protest and disagreed with the BCI chairman's action.",
