‘Advocates should not defend terror suspects’

MANGALORE: Karnataka Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs S. Suresh Kumar on Sunday suggested that advocates should not defend suspected terrorists in court.

Addressing advocates at a convention organised by the Dakshina Kannada District BJP Legal Cell here, the Minister said: “We will not stand in defence of accused terrorists.”

The Minister said there was a need on the part of lower courts in the State to use Kannada. It would help many litigants to understand the proceedings and the judgment delivered. However, there was problem in using Kannada in the High Court as there would be judges from outside the State.
