Supreme Court lawyer Mahmood Paracha, is well known for his fearless remarks. He courted controversy by stating that he would organise camps to provide help to people from Muslims, SC and ST communities in applying for firearm licenses and said governments have failed in protecting them. He justified his statement by saying that “we are promoting Article 19 to 21 which is a constitutional right to life. That is what we are asking people to do when the governments have failed.”
