Staff Reporter

TIRUCHI: The contribution of veteran Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader and the party’s former Polit Bureau member P. Ramachandran, who passed away recently, to the organisation, its growth and to the trade union movement was fondly recalled by senior members of the party at a function organised here on Wednesday.

Paying rich tributes to the veteran Communist leader, who was called “PRC” by party cadres, the speakers described him as a towering personality who stuck to his ideals and led a highly disciplined life.
