But I did not come here to lose,” she said firmly as reported by The Indian Express.

Reacting to the controversy involving Ansiba Hassan and Tiny Tom, Shweta Menon said the matter appeared to be “planned” and claimed she only learned about the complaint through media reports. “The complaint reached AMMA officially only around 2 PM that day,” she explained. According to Shweta, Ansiba’s resignation letter, as mentioned earlier, was based on personal reasons and did not contain allegations against Tiny Tom. “We tried contacting Ansiba after the complaint surfaced, but she did not answer the phone,” she revealed. Shweta also clarified that the executive committee will examine the issue properly according to AMMA’s rules and procedures.

Despite the criticism and pressure, Shweta insisted that she remains strong and committed to solving the issues within AMMA. She added that the upcoming general body meeting will be very important in addressing all concerns and restoring unity inside the association.
