Comrade N.J. Iyer was one of the stalwart leaders of the P and T Trade Union movement and the General Secretary of the All India RMS and MMS Union Class III for  long period. He continuously fought against the revisionist line of Com. Om Prakash Gupta  and was the leader of the progressive section of the P&T workers along with Comrades KG Bose, Adinarayana and others. He converted the RMS union a militant union and gave leadership to many valiant struggles of the Central Government employees. His simple life, high ideals and no compromise with the reformists and vacillators  was appreciated much. I had very close contact with him for more than 40 years. He vacated the post of General Secretary for the next generation and lived at Nagpur, his original place after vacating the union post. Till his death, he continued close contact with the organisation. He passed away on 13th February in 2000.

On his death anniversary, I pay my respectful homage to him. Red Salute to Com.N.J.Iyer!
