Polit Bureau Homage

THE Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses profound shock and grief at the death of comrade Sheopat Singh, member of the secretariat of the Rajasthan state committee of the Party.

Comrade Sheopat Singh was the vice president of the All India Kisan Sabha and president of its Rajasthan unit. He has led many peasant struggles in Rajasthan and went to jail several times during the course of these struggles. He has been a relentless champion of the cause of the downtrodden sections of the people and has fought many battles for their rights and for improving their living conditions. A mass leader with immense appeal, comrade Sheopat Singh was a former member of the Rajasthan legislative assembly. In 1989 he was elected to the Lok Sabha from Bikaner. He was a popular leader respected by all sections of society.

The Polit Bureau conveys its heartfelt condolences to the Rajasthan state committee of the Party. It also conveys its heartfelt condolences to his family members.
