Revolutionary Salute to Comrade Madhu, Central Committee Member of CPI (M-L), and Editor of Central Organ, ‘Class Struggle.’

    

    I regret to inform that Comrade Madhu became a martyr today at 4.30 A.M. with a heart attack.

    Comrade Madhu started his revolutionary career right from CPI and CPM as a member of student’s organizations and as an activist. As a member of Andhra Pradesh state committee member of Andhra Pradesh Communist Committee (Revolutionaries), he was in higher responsibilities from 1973. After the martyrdom of Comrade Tarimela Nagireddy in the critical time of emergency he was one among others who led forward the party line. He was a central committee member of UCCRI (M-L) from 1976 onwards. From then to this day he worked as CC member and CC secretary at different stages of unity process.

    Comrade Madhu played an important role in publication of English and Telugu journals of the party and in the preparation of party political reports, party reviews on theoretical aspects. He worked as CC member of CPI (M-L) which came into existence in the unity process of revolutionaries with Comrade Kanu Sanyal as its General Secretary. After the martyrdom of Comrade Jaswanth, he brought out the central organ of the party ‘Class Struggle’ as its editor. Though ill, he was working for the paper until the day before his death.

        The childhood of Comrade Madhu was spent in utter poverty in Mahaboobnagar district. He continued his studies in the midst of several inconveniences. He worked in student and literary movements as a Law student. Though he completed the Law course, he did not become a lawyer as he dedicated himself to the revolutionary movement with great commitment and involvement. He had been working in different responsibilities of the revolutionary movement right from his 15^th year to his 78^th year.

    Comrade Madhu was a hardcore revolutionary. His life is completely political. The death of Comrade Madhu is a great loss to the revolutionary movement and especially to CPI (M-L) party. The central committee of CPI (M.L.) is honouring him with revolutionary salutes. It conveys its deep condolences to his life partner Comrade Padma and his daughter Comrade Ajitha.

Johaar Comrade Madhu!
