New Delhi: Following controversy over a book, part of DU's history curriculum, which refers to Bhagat Singh as a 'revolutionary terrorist', the university on Friday decided to stop the sale and distribution of its Hindi translation.

The book titled 'India's Struggle for Independence', which has been part of DU's curriculum for over two decades mentions Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Surya Sen and others as "revolutionary terrorists" in Chapter 20. It also calls the Chittagong movement a 'terrorist act', while killing of British police officer John Sanders has been called an 'act of terrorism'.
