‘Baburaj will not play any dirty games, talking after accepting money,’ Ponnamma Babu turns against Maala Parvathy 

KOCHI: Actress Ponnamma Babu has come forward harshly responding to Maala Parvathy’s statement against actor Baburaj in the case against Swetha Menon. While talking to a news channel she said Baburaj is not behind the case and he is not one who plays dirty games.

She said, ‘I firmly believe that Baburaj will not play such dirty games. I have only this to say about the person whom I know. If we say anything about Baburaj, many will say that we are on his side. There is no such thing. We will speak whenever we see any wrongdoing. To me, AMMA is like my family. Maala Parvathy is doing this to get media attention. She is one who is not in the field and is talking for someone after accepting money.

We are not sitting for Maala Parvathy. We are for AMMA. They say that this is a strategy for election campaign. How do they understand? I don't understand that. If they know, let them file a case. Isn't that what should be done? Why are they staining the organisation AMMA and the members of it, in all channels? I can't say that the case against Swetha Menon is a conspiracy. I don't think Baburaj will degrade like this. He has done a lot of good things for AMMA. If anyone does good, won't we mention that?

Maala Parvathy turned against Baburaj yesterday. She said that she suspects that actor Baburaj is behind the allegations against Swetha Menon and Cuckoo Parameswaran, contesting polls in AMMA. She also clarified to the media that the allegations were raised after Baburaj withdrew from the elections.

‘There are threats against me too. Some did these things to consolidate power after it was confirmed that Mohanlal is not in the fray. AMMA is an association with huge assets. Those who have known its benefits are behind the present events. There is a conspiracy behind the case.

Some have said that Baburaj was the one who took along AMMA, which was blemished in the Hema Committee. Paleri Manikyam, in which Swetha acted, even won an award. A POCSO case has been filed against Cuckoo. How will she act here? Swetha is in severe mental agony. We are with her along with her family. Things have happened recently that people who have worked for AMMA for so long are being stained now. Many are afraid of Baburaj. Many prominent people had advised me not to say anything against Baburaj. They said that he would personally attack me. I don't need to be afraid, ‘said Maala Parvathy.
