New Delhi: FTII students were on Tuesday joined by those from other universities in New Delhi in a day-long symbolic hunger strike outside I&B Ministry's office against Gajendra Chauhan's appointment as Chairman and the agitators threatened to hold rallies across cities to mark 100 days of their stir.

Students from FTII, Pune, Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Jamia Millia Islamia squatted on the road outside Shastri Bhavan here which houses the I&B Ministry and were forcibly removed by the police which claimed that they had not taken prior permission for the demonstration.
