Sad News! Comrade Samar Mukherjee, patriarch of the Indian Left, former Member of Parliament, former PB Member CPI(M) and also former General Secretary, CITU passed away today morning at Kolkata. He was 101. His birth centenary was celebrated last year.
He was very simple in living and donated his entire earning to the party. While he was in Delhi, I had the opportunity to meet him several times to bring to notice certain issues of the employees. He was very sympathetic and took up the issues with sincerity and actively.
My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, comrades and friends! My respectful homage to the great leader!
