Admirer ...
"Chagla was a political admirer and assistant to Jinnah, who worked as a junior in his chambers. He seems to have had a grudge against his former mentor, partially on the grounds that Jinnah was unhelpful during the early stages of his career as a barrister."

1. Should it be "...admirer of..."?
2. According to the sentence construction, to whom does the subordinate clause "who worked as a junior in his chamber" refer?
