Share

We had previously reported how AMMA’s move to take back Dileep in the association has received criticism from WCC, filmmaker Aashiq Abu and writer N.S Madhavan. Now, the survivor, Rima Kallingal, Ramya Nambeesan, and Geethu Mohandas have resigned from the organization. The core members of WCC (Women in Cinema Collective) wrote their respective views on the decisions.

The survivor in the assault case said, “Prior to this, this actor has snatched away opportunities of acting from me. When I had complained at that time, AMMA did not act seriously on my complaint. And when such a terrible incident happened, an organization that I am also a part of tried to protect the man who has been accused of the crime. Realising that there is no purpose in being a part of such an organization, I hereby resign.”

Geetu Mohandas in her note to the film body said, “I am resigning from AMMA. I should have done this long back. I had understood when I was a working committee member of AMMA that it is tough to question AMMA’s decisions when being a part of it. AMMA needs people who follow the decision of the leadership without questioning. Our voices are getting drowned there. We cannot allow that anymore. I stand with my friend and will fight AMMA’s such irresponsible actions from outside.”

Actor Rima Kallingal said “What happened right now is not a problem that can be confined to a single person or a single organisation. I’m not leaving ‘AMMA’ for just this one problem. I’m leaving with the hope that the next generation will be able to courageously continue with full self respect and without making any compromises.”

Remya Nambeesan, a friend of the survivor said in her note, “Resigning from AMMA. My resignation is to protest the highly irresponsible stance taken in view of the current circumstances. The organisation has taken a very deceitful and inhuman stance against our colleague who has suffered a gruesome assault. Primarily, I believe in being a good human being. Let justice prevail.”

Following his arrest in the year 2017, Dileep, one of key accused in the actress abduction case was expelled from the organization.
