The ABVP claimed disrespect was shown to Lord Ram, goddess Sita, and Lord Laxman in the drama. "It is necessary that dramas should be scrutinised before they are allowed. The committee allowed the drama and encouraged disrespect of Lord Ram," the memorandum said. Calls made to the vice chancellor remained unanswered.
