Brazil SC Stormed: Lawyers' Body Asks PM Modi to Help Strengthen Rule of Law

BRICS Legal Forum India Chapter has asked PM Modi to prod G20 member countries to help strengthen the Rule of Law.

A day after supporters of Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro stormed the country’s Supreme Court, the BRICS Legal Forum, India Chapter (which is hosted by the Bar Association of India) has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prod G20 member countries to help strengthen the Rule of Law.

In a letter, signed by Prashant Kumar, Convenor, BRICS Legal Forum (India Chapter) and President, Bar Association of India, the lawyers' body said:

“BRICS Legal Forum India Chapter calls upon the Prime Minister of India as the host of the G20 for this year to galvanise the member countries to take the strengthening of the Rule of Law in its true sense on the top of the G 20 agenda, especially given the credentials of India as world’s biggest Rule of Law based democracy with uninterrupted transition of power through electoral process since India became independent and being home to one of the world’s most independent, active and robust judiciaries.”
