The students' association of Pune's Film and Television Institute of India issued a statement condemning a visit to the campus today by information and broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur.
"...we cannot help but question what the presence of Mr Thakur means to this place, in addition to the glorified welcome extended to him by our administration," the statement said. "The impact of Mr Thakur's beliefs and proclamations of the recent past are nothing short of venomous and absolutely despicable."
