us shibby you know for the first time we've seen tangible impact of uh you know me to claims especially at the back of the HMA committee report an fi now being registered against the CPM MLA and actor Mukesh uh well exactly in fact uh you know so far the government has been trying to justify saying that you know we have formed a committee for the first time a government in the state country is doing something like this so we stand for the women but from today onwards they have been under real big huge pressure considering that the sitting MLA an F has been registered under non-bailable offense against the sitting ml he was not just the sitting M he been a two-time CPM MLA and also the Loa candidate in the recently concluded loab election so for the party and for the state government here they're going through one of the most toughest faces with the you know somebody prominent like a prominent party leader as well as an actor like Mukesh is facing uh you know such a major allegation as well as facing Court uh you know facing a investigation of this sort uh but yes the today there have been around seven complaints seven F registered against various actors like Mukesh Jura prominent faces in the industry we are hearing that all these actors against whom non bail offense have in charge they planning to approach the high court approach the court uh with Andis andary bail petition because uh that's the only way out because uh and also uh in the coming days also we are hearing that more and more people are going to come out because the victims whoever we spoke to said that now there's a sense of confidence that you know we have we can come out and express uh more about what we went through uh the sit has been very cooperated and that's exactly what we were looking or what we lacked in the past so uh right now it's more of a comfortable situation where feel that there's support for everyone the victims here the survivors here and that's exactly what we're going to do uh it's a very tough phase for the industry also because it's already facing a financial crisis because of the theater response the lack of theater response and all of that so uh on top of that uh an industry going through like this going through a situation like this with many questions raised to their stop Stars especially the Silence of the two superstars in the industry mamuti and moan silence being questioned uh we're seeing a lot of outrage on social media also from various corners from the movie uh you know movie followers also saying that this is not what we expect out of a state and out of an industry like this which is very political which has always come forward and showed their you know showed their political stance at many many time so uh very tough pH for the industry as well as for the state government even though they say that they formed in sit and many other things have been done uh this one case of Muk is a very very major task for the government and the party CP to solve in the coming days all right you know sh we're going to come back to you for more updates on that St
