Is there any bar to take the pledge on occasions like Republic Day or Independence Day Celebrations or in social gatherings?
No. There is absolutely no bar to recite the pledge on different occasions like Republic Day or Independence Day celebrations. In fact saying the pledge on such occasions makes our patriotic sentiments more intense and, therefore, people have already started reciting pledge on such celebrations in various educational institutions and many lawyers have joined this move. On January 23 this year, Delhi High Court Bar Association members did say the pledge in HIndi in their Republic Day Celebrations. On August 15 this year CAT Bar Association members and judges in Delhi, Lawyers of Dwaraka Bar Association and lawyers of Orissa High Court had also taken this pledge.
