Thiruvananthapuram: Director Ramasimhan Aboobakker (Ali Akbar) has resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Taking to Facebook, he made the announcement of severing links with the party completely. He has also sent his resignation letter to the state president of the party.

“Let me share some good news, now I am not a slave to any politics. Completely independent... Freed from everything,” he added.
