Ghaziabad: Two MLAs from BJP, Sunil Sharma and Ajit Pal Tyagi, met the protesting lawyers at the district court on Wednesday and tried to end the stalemate between them and the police. They assured them that they will take up the matter with chief minister Yogi Adityanath, if the issue is not resolved at the district level.While Sharma represents Sahibabad, Tyagi represents Muradnagar constituency. Earlier, the Ghaziabad Bar Association had called for an indefinite strike against recent police action against them.The agitation by the lawyers, which entered its sixth day on Wednesday, followed a scuffle with police after allegations that some of them had beaten up an eatery owner last week. The lawyers have alleged that the force, led by SP (city) Akash Tomar, had thrashed them without any provocation. The Bar Association has decided to continue with the strike unless Tomar is suspended.“We had a discussion with the lawyers and deliberated on the ways to resolve the entire matter in a dignified manner. The litigants are facing a lot of inconvenience due to this strike. I will also take up the matter with chief minister Yogi Adityanath. At present, both the sides are adamant on their stand,” said Muradnagar MLA Ajit Pal Tyagi.However, Vishwas Tyagi, secretary of Ghaziabad Bar Association said, “We still stand by our demands and the strike will continue till they are met.” On Tuesday, SSP Vaibhav Krishna had urged the lawyers to withdraw their strike saying that he was personally looking into the entire sequence of events.
