Comrade K.K.Tiwari, former Financial Secretary of the AIRMS &MMS Union Class III and later working in the AKG Bhawan passed away yesterday ( 9th January). The cremation was also took place yesterday itself. Many old friends and comrades participated.
Comrade Tiwari was a committed and dedicated leader. It was Comrade N.J.Iyer, veteran P&T leader and then General Secretary of the AIRMS&MMS Union, who brought comrade Tiwari to the All India position in the All India Conference held at Allahabad in 1980. He continued in the post till his retirement. He fully deserved the same.
Only two days earlier, I met him at AKG Bhawan while taking food in the canteen. We exchanged greetings. I enquired about his health also. He was happy to hear that the BSNLEU has purchased a building of its own. I never thought that we will not be meeting again. Yesterday again when I had gone to the AKG Bhawan, there I got the sad news that comrade Tiwari is no more. As soon as I got the information, I sent SMS to our common friends intimating the sad news.
My respectful homage to the departed leader. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, friends and comrades.
It is shocking to learn that Com K.K.Tiwari, the Ex-Treasurer of RMS and MMS-III Union is no more. I knew Com K.K.Tiwari since long while he was Treasurer of RMS-III union during Com N.J.Iyer’s time, and so far I remember we used to utilise his quarter as a rest house of ours whenever we used to visit Delhi for union works. His sincerity and commitment towards the union was unquestionable. However, I could know him more deeply while he used to come to AKG Bhawan New Delhi after his retirement. Whenever We used to come to Delhi, we used to meet him and exchange our views on union activities.He was very keen for Assam Comrades and used to trust us immensely. His unalterable trust on us used to act an ingredient of inspiration which we can’t forget. He is a unforgettable personality whom many of the Assam comrade will remember till the last day of their lives. Red Salute to Comrade K.K.Tiwari. We need many of such silent workers for the organization as of Comrade K.K.Tiwari, if we want to give a revolutionary shape to our Trade Unions/organisation. Long Live – Com K.K.Tiwari- Long live.
