Director Ashiq Abu has resigned from the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) in protest against the organization’s leadership, whom he accuses of hypocrisy. Abu’s resignation comes after the release of a report by the Hema Committee, which investigated labor violations within the film industry. He publicly criticized FEFKA’s leadership for their inaction and lack of transparency in addressing the issues raised in the report. Abu specifically condemned the silence and lack of concrete action from the organization, stating that their ‘criminal silence’ and ‘hypocritical leadership’ prompted his resignation. He further criticized B Unnikrishnan, a prominent figure within FEFKA, for his alleged involvement in labor violations and called for his removal from the film policy formulation committee. Abu’s resignation highlights growing discontent within the film industry regarding the organization’s effectiveness in protecting the rights of its members.
