The Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) has rejected claims that its Executive Committee (EC) has been dissolved, calling the reports “totally wrong, misconceived and” without any “judicial sanctity.” The actors’ body has maintained that its elected Executive Committee continues to remain in place and function according to the organisation’s Constitution.

As per the Constitution of CINTAA, the EC shall dissolve only when more than 50 per cent of the elected members of the EC resign, which is not the case at hand.”
