Over 80 agitating students of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) will be holding a protest march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament Street today (3rd August, 2015) against the appointment of Gajendra Chauhan as the Pune-based institute's chief.

The youth Congress is also likely to join the protest.

Meanwhile, the strike called by the FTII students has entered its 52nd day.

The FTII students association had sent a letter to Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore yesterday requesting him to start a positive dialogue on the issue.

The students have been protesting against Chauhan's appointment due to his affiliation to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and his lack of experience and stature. A billboard at the entrance of the institute had earlier asked Chauhan to resign and leave.
