A day after a controversy broke out over the participation of producer and actor Vijay Babu, accused of rape of a woman actor, actor and MLA K.B. Ganesh Kumar has said the accused should resign from Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) and stay away from it until his name is cleared.
He made the demand at AMMA's general body meeting. Speaking to presspersons later, Mr. Ganesh Kumar also lashed out at AMMA general secretary Edavela Babu for claiming that AMMA is a "club".
"AMMA should pay attention to the things that the survivor has been saying. She had said that some people were attempting to intimidate her. There are allegations that Edavela Babu was also seen in some foreign countries at around the same time that the accused had fled the country. All these should be addressed. When allegations were raised against actor Dileep, he had resigned from the organisation. The same thing is applicable here too. A case has been registered against Vijay Babu. Although he has got bail, he hasn't been acquitted yet," said Mr. Ganesh Kumar.
