The meeting further affirms that the Legal Wing will stand as a strong protective shield for the growth and strength of the party.
Resolution 3
The meeting strongly condemns the Union Government for removing the name of “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme”, named after the Father of the Nation and a renowned lawyer, Mahatma Gandhi, and replacing it with an incomprehensible title in an unfamiliar language.
Resolution 4
Considering the needs of the present time, to avoid unnecessary travel hardships, and to enable easy access for economically weaker sections, the meeting urges the Union Government to establish a bench of the Supreme Court in Chennai, a long-standing demand.
Resolution 5
The meeting condemns the Union Government for forcibly imposing a fully online system for filing cases in courts without adequately considering the difficulties, delays, and hardships faced by advocates and court staff. The meeting strongly urges the authorities to hold discussions with Bar Association representatives and arrive at an appropriate solution to bring the ongoing indefinite court boycott to an end.
Resolution 6
The meeting demands that the Union Government immediately take steps to enact a Lawyers’ Protection Act that would ensure the safety and welfare of the legal fraternity.
Resolution 7
With the objective of strengthening the MDMK Advocates’ Wing, the meeting resolves to form MDMK advocates’ panels in all courts.
