India Today
Kerala actresses Mala Parvathy, Shweta Menon and Kuku Parameswaran have resigned from the ICC claiming the film body 'Ámma' did not take any action against rape case accused VIjay Babu.
Three Kerala actresses have resigned from the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in protest against the non-action by Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) against actor-producer Vijay Babu, accused in a rape case.
Actresses Mala Parvathy, Shweta Menon and Kuku Parameswaran have resigned from the ICC. But they have not resigned from 'Amma'.
‘’The Internal Complaints Committee had asked ‘Amma’ to take action against Vijay Babu accused in the rape case. But the association took a soft stand on this issue,” actress Mala Parvathy said.

"If the ICC does not have the power to suggest disciplinary action, what is the use of this committee? And some people are afraid of ICC in Amma," Mala Parvathy said, submitting her resignation.
After police registered a case against Vijay Babu, the executive committee of ‘Amma’ had asked the ICC for a report. ICC convened on April 27 and found that revealing the name of the rape victim on social media was a serious offence. ICC submitted a report to demote Vijay Babu from the official post of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists.
An emergency meeting of the Amma’s Executive Committee was convened on May 1 to take further action as the ICC has no authority to expel an elected member. As per ‘Amma’s order, Vijay Babu submitted his resignation. However, an official press release prepared by ‘Amma’ stated that Vijay babu had submitted his resignation letter and the executive committee had discussed the matter and taken a decision.
