Allegations of irregularities and missing accounts<\/p>\n
Members present at the meeting pointed to alleged irregularities in the association\u2019s accounts as a key trigger for the crisis.<\/p>\n
Menon said, according to media reports, that the treasurer had gone missing, resulting in gaps in financial documentation for a certain period.<\/p>\n
She added that while accounts from September 1 onwards were in order, earlier records could not be produced.<\/p>\n
Controversy over allegations and sponsorship disputes\u00a0<\/p>\n
The resignation comes amid deepening controversy within A.M.M.A, including allegations raised by former joint secretary Ansiba Hassan, who stepped down citing harassment and internal targeting.<\/p>\n
She alleged that she was subjected to communal accusations within the committee and said tensions escalated over disagreements on religious organisations acting as sponsors for A.M.M.A events, including a temple-linked sponsorship for a February fundraiser.<\/p>\n
An agreement linked to a temple trust and the association\u2019s reunion event also came under scrutiny, intensifying public debate over sponsorship practices.<\/p>\n
Claims of harassment and internal targeting\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ansiba alleged she faced harassment following a police complaint filed by vice president Lakshmipriya, and said she was questioned by police despite unclear grounds for the case.<\/p>\n
She also claimed that actor and executive committee member Tini Tom made serious allegations against her, which he has denied, calling them hearsay.<\/p>\n
Ansiba further said she received no support from the leadership and accused sections within the executive committee of functioning as a closed group that suppressed dissent.<\/p>\n
Divisions exposed within leadership <\/p>\n
\u00a0Actor Mohanlal is reported to have maintained a neutral stance during internal discussions, while Ganesh Kumar supported the existing leadership.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Separately, concerns were raised by members over internal governance, including claims about surveillance practices and decision-making transparency within the organisation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Actor Mala Parvathy also alleged that key decisions were being concentrated within a small group, with limited communication to other members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leadership exits after turbulent tenure<\/p>\n
The outgoing committee, elected in 2025, made history by appointing two women to top positions, with Shwetha Menon as president and Cuckoo Parameswaran as general secretary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the leadership soon became embroiled in multiple controversies, culminating in Sunday\u2019s collective resignation amid widening divisions within A.M.M.A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Allegations of irregularities and missing accounts Members present at the meeting pointed to alleged irregularities in the association\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,209214,6676,6051,270],"class_list":["post-511847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kerala-cinema","tag-malayalam-cinema","tag-malayalam-films","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
