The pages of the text containing 'controversial, anti-women and casteist references' were burnt. Pradeep Narwal, who has resigned from the ABVP, read out 40 points from the text before the pages were burnt for derogatory references towards Dalits and women.
The students raised slogans against Manuwad and Brahmanvad. Chanting 'Jai Bhim', they also spoke against casteism and caste-based discrimation in the Indian society. The event was organised on Tuesday evening at the Sabarmati Dhaba at JNU.
