Ahmedabad, September 12

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday promised a monthly stipend for new lawyers in Gujarat and a strong mechanism for their protection, if the AAP forms government after the Assembly polls in December.

Interacting with advocates in Ahmedabad, Kejriwal said he would study the Kerala government’s scheme to pay a monthly stipend to young advocates. He assured free electricity to the court chambers on the lines of Delhi and said a “very liberal policy” had been framed in view of the lawyers’ demand for health and life insurance cover.

“I understood that till now, whatever we did for advocates in Delhi was the best. Just now I learnt that Kerala has gone ahead of me. I had no idea about the Kerala scheme (of paying a monthly stipend to young lawyers),” the Delhi CM said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
