Comrade Pandhes loss will be deeply felt by Indias working class struggles and the countrys Left movement. The workers of India will always remember him for his leading role in building a resolute resistance to the anti-labour, anti-people policies of liberalization. He always adhered to the best communist traditions of simple lifestyle, and his activism right till the last days of his life will always inspire communists everywhere.

CPI(ML) pays homage to Comrade Pandhes legacy, and stands with his family and comrades in this time of loss.
