ISLAMABAD: The Punjab Bar Council (PBC) asked the province's authorities on Saturday to ban hotel, restaurant and other hospitality sector staff from wearing black suits with white shirts, which it said was the "uniform of lawyers."
The request follows similar ones made by the Islamabad Bar Council and the Balochistan Bar Council last week, which also want waiters at hotels and wedding halls not to wear uniforms that make them look like lawyers.
"It came to our knowledge, many hotels and marriage halls staff is wearing the uniform of lawyers," PBC secretary Muhammad Ashraf Rahi said in a letter to the Punjab chief minister.
"Nobody is allowed to wear the uniform of lawyers except the lawyers," he said, adding that he had "clear directions to proceed under the relevant provision of law" in anyone who is not a lawyer is found in "the uniform of lawyers" at marriage halls, hotels, or other event venues.
