Sad news! Veteran P and T Union leader, comrade K.Prabhakaran breathed his last today, 18th May 2011 at Ernakulam (Kerala). He was ailing for some time. He was victimised several times for active leadership in all the struggles and strikes. Even after retirementand despite his ill health he has been in active touch with the BSNLEU and CGE organisations. In the 1968 strike of Central Government employees, we were together at Calicut and faced severe victimisation. When I went to Kerala in connection with the membership verification, I went to his house and had met him the last time. He was very weak at that time also.
I express my deep grief at this sad demise and convey my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, comrades and friends .
