BJP and ABVP activists had protested against the publication of 'Widerstand' in Puducherry.

BJP's Puducherry unit on Wednesday staged a sit-in before the Pondicherry University protesting re-distribution of copies of a controversial magazine which had come under attack for its alleged objectionable contents against the central government.Unit president V Saminathan, who led the protest, said the management had banned the publication in the wake of the protests against the "objectionable" comments within days of its release.The management had also stored copies of the magazines in a room and locked it. However, a few days ago the Registrar in-charge of the University had handed over the key to the Students Council 'facilitating' redistribution of the magazine on Monday, he alleged.He said a delegation of BJP's Puducherry unit would soon meet the Union HRD Minister seeking his intervention to sack the Vice Chancellor in charge for the developments on the premises of the University.Mr Saminathan said his party would continue with its protests "till the magazine is withdrawn once and for all."The magazine, titled 'Widerstand' (meaning resistance in German), was brought out a few weeks back by the council. BJP and ABVP activists had protested against the publication after it was released, alleging that it had objectionable remarks against the central government.
