Surjeet, PRC Condole Com. R Ramraj's Death

Harkishan Singh Surjeet, general Secretary of the CPI(M) has sent the following message to the secretary of the Tamilnadu state committee on the death of Comrade R Ramraj.

I am deeply grieved to hear the news of the death of veteran communist and kisan leader, R Ramraj. His immense contribution to building the kisan movement in Tamilnadu will always be remembered. Inside the communist movement also he was one of those veterans who took an active part in the struggle against revisionism and later on in building the Party organisation in the state. He was a Central Committee member for some period.

On behalf of the Polit Bureau, we pay homage to his memory. I convey heartfelt condolences to the Tamilnadu unit of the Party and to his family members.
