FTII chief meets RSS chief in Nagpur

Nagpur, Jun 23 (UNI) Chairman of Film and Television Institute of India Gajendra Chauhan paid a surprise visit to RSS Headquarters in the city today and met Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat for the first time after his posting to the premier institute.
The appointment of Mr Chauhan was embroiled in a major controversy and had sparked widespread protests among FTII students and a cross section of personalities. The opponents had termed Mr Chauhan’s appointment as FTII chief at RSS behest.
“The RSS has no role in my appointment as FTII chief. Mohan Bhagwat is like a father figure to me and I had come to invite him for my son’s wedding. Nothing more should be read in the meeting,” Mr Chauhan, who had discussion over half an hour with the RSS chief this morning, told reporters.
There is no row at position 0.
