Why Kejriwal's offer to FTII students exposes his ignorance about the issue

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has thrown open the doors of the national capital for the students of Film and Television Institute of India. He is seemingly moved by the arrest of five students from the campus on the midnight of 19 August.

First a look at what Kejriwal is offering the students.

• Delhi government can provide you temporary space in Delhi. Run your classes here till central govt agrees.

• If finally, central govt doesn't agree, we'll convert this place into full fledged institute and students can continue studying here.

Good intention. But good intentions aren't always backed by logical solutions.

Here's why Kejriwal's offer is completely illogical.

1. The problem is not with space. The central government is not withdrawing the land allotted to FTII. Land and space is not the issue. So why is he offering them space?

2. FTII has close to 1000 students. According to the FTII website, 711 students are enrolled in the three year course and close to 200 students are pursuing post graduation diploma in the student. A space to study can be provided. But how will Kejriwal make sure hostels for all the students and accommodation for faculty members?

3. How will changing state ensure that Gajendra Chouhan is no more the chairperson of the film school- the main flashpoint between the government and the students.

4. How will Kejriwal ensure that police won't crackdown on students if they decide to continue their protest against government's political appointments in the institute. As of now Kejriwal doesn't have any control on Bassi and co.

5. As correctly pointed out by senior journalist Shekhar Gupta, shouldn't Kejriwal be more concerned about creating a FTII or Kolkata's SRFTI like institutes in Delhi?
