'Ram ke Naam' screened at Presidency varsity badminton court

A section of the Presidency University students arranged an open air show of 'Ram Ke Naam', a 1992 documentary based on Babri Masjid demolition, in the premises of the institute on Friday, four days after the original plan of the screening.

Over 200 students and some of the faculty members came to watch the documentary by Anand Patwardhan at the badminton court of the university, said Sayan Chakravorty, spokesman of the group of students who organised the programme.

The initial plan of the students was to hold the screening at the portico of the main building, after the authorities allegedly denied permission to show it at the university auditorium.

Chakravorty claimed, "The authorities snapped power connection to the portico, prompting us to hold the screening at the badminton court as an alternative power line is there."
