An I&B Ministry panel has blamed the agitating students and the faculty of FTII for the prevailing situation at the campus here, as it defended the institute’s controversial decision to call police in the campus after the gherao of its director.
The three-member committee headed by SM Khan, who is Registrar of Newspapers for India, said this in a report submitted to the Information & Broadcasting Ministry after visiting the campus of the prestigious Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) a month ago after the gherao episode that led to a midnight crackdown by police in which five students were arrested.
