The Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad (ABAP) (English: All India Lawyers' Council) is a right-wing Indian organisation of lawyers associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. It is often referred to in the media as the "RSS lawyers' wing."[1] It aims to work for a judicial system that is "in harmony with the genius of the nation and consonance with the Bharatiya traditions,” as stated in the organization’s mission.
It was founded in 1992 by Dattopant Thengadi, a Hindu nationalist thinker, social reformer, and founder of the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, one of India’s largest trade unions.
