Malayalam actor Siddique quits AMMA general secretary post over rape allegation

Hindustan Times  

Kochi: Senior Malayalam actor Siddique resigned from the post of general secretary of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists, a prominent actors’ body in Kerala, following rape and sexual assault allegations from an actress. AMMA general secretary Siddique with actors Jomol and Ananya addressed the media on the Justice Hema Committee report, in Kochi, Friday Siddique, who acted in over 350 films predominantly in Malayalam, confirmed to Asianet TV, “I have conveyed my resignation to the president of AMMA Mohanlal. The allegations against Siddique, who was elected to the general secretary post through an internal election of AMMA for a three-year term earlier this year, come in the backdrop of the release of the Hema committee report, which has shed light on the incidents of sexual abuse and harassment against women artists and technicians, in the Malayalam film industry. The government should implement the recommendations of the committee, as it will lead to improvement in the working conditions in the industry.” At the same time, he denied the existence of a ‘casting couch’ in the industry and attributed the testimonies in the Hema report to a ‘few isolated incidents’.
