The fourth round of talks between the agitating FTII students and Information and Broadcasting Ministry officials to resolve the standoff over appointment of of actor Gajendra Chauhan as chairman of the institute failed to break the 120 days logjam on Saturday though both the sides agreed to take the dialogue to the ministerial level.

The students will now be meeting Minister of State for I and B Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore next week. A statement issued after the talks said a meeting will now be convened between FTII student representatives and Rathore in the near future.
