Com.Keluettan with Coms. Balu and VAN

20th May 2017 is the 26th death anniversary Com.M.K.Kelu, respectfully and fondly called Keluettan, one of the senior most leaders of the CPI(M) in Kerala. His entire life was dedicated to the cause of the people. He was in prison for many years as a freedom fighter as also as a Communist leader. For six decades he was leading the struggles of the workers.

A meeting was held in the morning under the auspices of the Keluettan Padana Gaveshana Kendra. Along with Coms. Viswan Master, K.T.Kunhikannan, K.K.C.Pillai and others, I also shared my remembrances of Com. Keluettan.

Red Salute to Com. Keluettan!

Comrade Keluettan remembered!

Today, 20th May 2016, is the 25th death anniversary of Com.M.K.Kelu,(affectionately called Keluettan), who was a veteran leader of the CPI(M) and toiling masses. His entire life was dedicated for the service of the people. He is one of the leaders of the old generation, who sacrificed their all fighting for the freedom of the country and the for the welfare of the people. Keluettan had to face severe attacks, including physical attacks, both from the British Government and the Congress government. Several times he was put in jail for years together. He continued as a bachelor and his life was dedicated to party. He was the District Secretary of the CPI(M), Calicut for many years and also functioned as MLA.

Since I came to Calicut in 1964 on transfer, I had the privilege  of getting advice and guidance from him in the trade union activities till he passed away.

Red Salute to Com. Keluettan on his 25th death anniversary!

Today, 20th May 2013, I went to the Com. Keluettan Study and Research Centre, Calicut  to participate in the observing of the 22nd death anniversary of Com.M.K.Kelu, the veteran and popular leader of CPI(M) , who passed away on 20th May 1991.

After the Centre President Com.K.T.Kunhikannan presented the opening remarks, I was asked to speak. I spoke briefly about the simple and comradely living and working of Keluettan and some of my valuable experiences with him.

Com.Keluettan was a comrade completely dedicated to the Party, Comrades and the people. His entire life was an open book. He has sacrificed everything for the party and faced jail, arrests, physical attacks by police and all kinds of harassments, but he always stood his ground undaunted. I have the experiences of about three decades with him through which I learned and absorbed many valuable lessons. Sometimes in the future, I may put them in writing.

I pay my respectful homage to Com.Keluettan on this day. Red Salute to Com. Keluettan!
