Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi visited the Pune based Film and Television Institute of India today in support of the students' agitation there against the appointment of Gajendra Chauhan as its head. Film actors-turned politicians Raj Babbar, Chirinjeevee and Khushubu also accompanied him. During this visit Rahul Gandhi alleged that present Government is being run by RSS. They are appointing RSS people in all important institutes and at all important posts. He said that we should oppose this on national level. He expressed the opinion that FTII students should also have a say in the process of appointment of its governing council and its chairman. FTII students had written a letter to him seeking his intervention in this matter.<br/><br/>Responding to the invitation, Gandhi had decided to visit Pune and support their cause. FTII students are on strike against Chouhan's appointment and several filmmakers have supported them on the issue. Students have been continuing their strike for almost 40 days, boycotting academic work after failure of their talks with Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley in New Delhi on July 3. FTII students' association has declared that the strike will continue till their main demand for removal of Chauhan – who they allege lacks vision and stature to head FTII – and reconstitution of FTII Society, is accepted. On his arrival in Pune, Rahul Gandhi directly went to Congress Bhavan where he had interaction with party workers. While interacting with them, he said that "????? ??? ???? ?? ???? ??? ?? ??". He appealed to party workers to come on streets to fight against policies of BJP Government.
