FTII row: Students get more support, mull legal option

July 09, 2015 20:52

On a day that the FTII students agitating for the removal of Chairman Gajendra Chauhan received support from more film personalities like Adoor Gopalakrishnan and Anupam Kher, the body leading the strike

today hinted at moving court to secure their objective.

As the strike at the premier institute in Pune entered its 28th day, the FTII Students' Association said they are keeping the option open of moving court to secure the removal of TV actor Chauhan as the chairman of its Governing Council since the Centre has failed to "respond positively" to their demand.

Calling upon the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to initiate a second round of talks to discuss their demands, FSA representative Rakesh Shukla said, "We are also exploring the option of approaching a court of law on the issue as judiciary is another platform available to us."
