Dr T Pavithran, chief of the chair in Malayalam university has sent the letter to the vice chancellor. Whereas the copy of the letter is not available. Sources say Dr Pavithran who is a CPM sympathiser, has withdrawn the compliant after the middleman—office bearer of AKGCTA in Malappuram district—has asked him to do so. This person was also alleged by M B Rajesh for having played the role of an intermediary in setting off the issue as a controversy.

Earlier three persons have complained about Ninitha’s appointment. With the withdrawal of Dr Pavithran, issues over her appointment will subside.
