Addressing the media, the All India Lawyers Association said, "The Karnataka Government provides Rs. 2000 as stipend and the Puducherry Ggovernment provides Rs. 3000 every month for young lawyers and have now increased the amount to Rs. 5000 in the recent budget. The Kerala and Andhra Governments have also promised Rs. 5000 for young lawyers. Hence, we ask the Tamil Nadu Government to also take appropriate action and provide a stipend of Rs. 5000 to our young lawyers."
