'BJP leader's video and Rs 15 crore promise from MNC'; Actors respond to crisis in AMMA

KOCHI: Actress Ansiba Hassan said that it was financial irregularities that led the committee headed by Shwetha Menon to resign. The committee's financial report was not passed in the general body. Ansiba said it was impossible to accept the general body facing irregularities as an ad hoc committee. Ansiba clarified this at a press conference called by actresses Usha Hasina, Mala Parvathy and Maya Viswanath in Kochi.

In the Ad Hoc committee, former general body members Dr Ronnie David and Asha Aravind were included. Ansiba said they are continuing in the committee because of coordinating the Sanjeevani activities.

Mala Parvathy showed a video of BJP leader Padmaja Menon saying that the AMMA organisation will receive Rs 15 crore as a donation from the Adani Group. Mala Parvathy clarified that they do not want money from a multinational company.

From the words of Mala Parvathy

A political leader promised to bring Rs 15 crores from a multinational company on the credibility of Shwetha. To our knowledge, Padmaja is not an AMMA member. The important thing is that we don’t need Rs 15 crores from a multinational company.

Shwetha said she supports Congress. She can support any party she wants. We have no objection to that. Ansiba questioned the hidden agenda of the general body. Ansiba, who is a Muslim, was even portrayed as a communalist and a jihadi.
