Justice (retired) Jora Singh Mann, president of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP’s) legal cell, said lawyers should be given an opportunity to represent Rajya Sabha.

“AAP has registered an emphatic victory winning 92 seats in the assembly elections. In this manner, five representatives from Punjab will go to the upper house of the parliament so it is really important that among the five, two lawyers should be representing Rajya Sabha,” said Justice Mann.

Mann was here to attend the state-level legal cell meeting where he expressed his gratitude to the lawyer fraternity for wholeheartedly supporting AAP.

“AAP has registered an emphatic victory winning 92 seats in the assembly elections. In this manner, five representatives from Punjab will go to the upper house of the parliament so it is really important that among the five, two lawyers should be representing Rajya Sabha,” said Justice Mann.
