Shwetha Menon, president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), reaffirmed her commitment to prevent individuals named in the Kerala government's Hema Committee report—accusing a power group of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct—from leading the association. She denied allegations linking her to the BJP and criticized attempts to divert attention from financial irregularities she raised. Menon emphasized her fight targets only the accused group and vowed to protect victims while addressing internal corruption concerns amid ongoing factional disputes within AMMA.
