He said the executive committee would be held this week and the general body meeting will be held after the stage show in Dubai on December 7."After AMMA executive members had met in Kochi, Mohanlal then said that he would be happy to welcome those who had left AMMA to support the survivor. I just reconfirmed it. That's all," he said, adding that if state government decides to intervene in the issue, AMMA would welcome the move.On Monday, AMMA's secretary Siddique - while holding a press conference in Kochi with KPAC Lalitha - had stated that the actors who resigned from the organization will have to tender an apology and submit fresh applications if they wanted to return. Siddique also said that the general body of AMMA will not be held soon, while Jagadish had said that it would be held soon to discuss the recent issues."What Siddique has said is his individual opinion. AMMA executive hadn't authorized him to conduct a press conference," Jagadish said, adding that Siddique had made KPAC Lalitha a scapegoat.
