Be guardians of justice, Vaiko tells lawyers

Tiruchirapalli, Mar 29: Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) General Secretary Vaiko has called upon the lawyers to strive to protect justice.

Addressing the Tiruchirapalli Bar Association members here last night, Mr Vaiko pointed out that Tamils had the credit of having established a strong judicial system and maintained age-old practices followed by several countries in ancient Europe. He said the judicial system of ancient Tamil Nadu was better than that prevailed in Egypt, Greece and Roman civilisations. Great Tamil epics such as 'Tirukkural' and the 'Silapathikaram' had mentioned about the best judicial practices to be followed, he added.
