Today (April 4) is RMP leader T P Chandrasekhar’s death anniversary. V T Balram MLA has written a commemorative Facebook post that is doing rounds now.

FB post:

‘Iratta Chankulla Communist Kollapettitu Oru Varsham’

This is the commemorative headline that appeared on an online newspaper this day in 2013 on the occasion of the first death anniversary of communist leader T P Chandrasekharan, who had fallen prey to the killer knife of the CPM.

Brave TP’s loyalists reverentially called him ‘Iratta Chankan’ (doubly strong-willed). But what followed was a silent PR work that certain cowards came to be decorated with that adjective later… This means they didn’t rob TP of his life alone…

My homage to the memories of a communist with real ‘Iratta Chanku’.
