Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress-led UDF on Sunday welcomed the resignation of eminent filmmaker Ranjith from the state-run Chalachitra Academy and actor Siddique as the general secretary of the Association of Movie Artists (A.M.M.A.) following sexual allegations levelled by two actors against them in separate instances.
However, the opposition front warned the state government that the ongoing row and related developments would not end with the resignation of the duo.
In a hard-hitting statement, the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly V D Satheesan demanded the resignation of Cultural Affairs Minister Saji Cheriyan accusing him of ‘covering up’ the Hema Committee report and trying to protect the accused persons by rubbishing the statements of victims.
