*New Delhi, September 12, 2024* — Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his deep sorrow over the passing of prominent Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Shri Sitaram Yechury, recognizing his significant contributions to Indian politics. In a heartfelt tweet, PM Modi paid tribute to Yechury, praising him as "a leading light of the Left" who had the unique ability to bridge gaps across political divides.
"Saddened by the passing away of Shri Sitaram Yechury Ji. He was a leading light of the Left and was known for his ability to connect across the political spectrum. He also made a mark as an effective Parliamentarian. My thoughts are with his family and admirers in this sad hour. Om Shanti," the Prime Minister tweeted.
Yechury, known for his sharp intellect and commitment to Leftist ideals, was a towering figure in Indian politics. He had been instrumental in shaping CPI(M)'s policies for decades and was widely respected even by political opponents for his pragmatic approach and statesmanship. Throughout his career, Yechury championed the rights of the working class, fought for social justice, and stood firmly against the rise of right-wing politics.
In Parliament, Yechury was known for his eloquent speeches and his ability to hold meaningful discussions across the political spectrum. His passing marks the end of an era for the Left in India, leaving a significant void not only within the CPI(M) but in the nation's political landscape as a whole.
As condolences poured in from various quarters, Yechury's family and close associates expressed gratitude for the widespread love and support shown during this difficult time. Political leaders from all major parties, including the BJP and Congress, acknowledged his contributions to Indian politics and emphasized the importance of unity during moments of national loss.
The nation joins in mourning the loss of a statesman who spent his life advocating for the marginalized and contributing to India's democratic fabric. Om Shanti.
