Actor Questions Kerala Govt's Inaction on Hema Committee
The Kerala government is being criticized for not doing anything with the Hema Committee's report, which was about problems in the Malayalam film industry.
Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu is upset the government hasn't acted on the report in over five years.
Some people who spoke to the committee don't want to continue with their complaints.
The report addressed more than just individual problems.
A film policy is being worked on, but it's taking a long time.
Despite this, there is more awareness about women's issues in the industry than before.
Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu criticized the Kerala government for inaction on the Hema Committee report.
Parvathy questioned the Chief Minister about the report's implementation, mentioning a five-and-a-half-year delay.
Reports suggest the Special Investigation Team (SIT) may close cases linked to the Hema Committee.
Some individuals who previously provided statements are now reluctant to pursue complaints, as per the SIT.
Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) member Bina Paul highlighted broader issues the Hema report addresses beyond individual complaints.
