Their demand was to also ban the publisher and close all its branches in India. while at the same time, another group of teachers and students were also protesting while reading books, to demand freedom of expression and not ban any books. The police had to intervene to put an end to the confrontation between the two demonstrators.

The first group gathered in front of the Penguin booth and began reading some typed notes. While they said they were reading excerpts from other books that had been censored, Hindu Sena members claimed they were reading excerpts from Doniger's book.
The group of students and academics distributed leaflets criticizing the censorship of books deemed "immoral". Their protest was disrupted when Hindu Sena activists, led by Vishnu Gupta, clashed with them and seized their pamphlets. The police had to intervene to put an end to both demonstrations.
