OBITUARY
National Federation of Postal Employees expresses profound grief
at the demise of former Speaker of Lok Sabha, Shri Somnath Chatterjee today at
Kolkata after prolonged ailment. He was 89.
He had been a veteran parliamentarian having been elected in Lok
Sabha ten times and played important role in taking up the issue of the working
people and their rights and livelihood and also in defending democracy,
secularism and federalism.
As a renowned lawyer by profession, he had taken up many cases
in defence of the rights of the workers and employees against victimization by
employers and the Govts. His frontline role along with others in the judicial
battle against mass scale victimization and dismissal of railway workers
following their countrywide strike in 1974 will always be remembered.
NFPE HQ conveys its heartfelt condolence to his family members
and Comrades of West Bengal and dips our Banner in his respect.
