A two-day book fair to be held at a central university in Pauri district was cancelled after some student leaders allegedly objected to books on Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and B R Ambedkar being put on sale there, according to sources.
However, Student Union President Jaswant Singh Rana, who is affiliated with the RSS student wing ABVP, said they did not object to ‘Kitab Kauthik’ because of the books that would be sold, but because the fair would have “distracted” students during the ongoing exam season.
The book fair was to be held on the Birla campus of the HNB Garhwal University, the only central university in Uttarakhand, in Pauri district from Saturday.
