Sankalp meetings in memory of CPI(ML) State committee member and AIPWA State Joint Secretary Com. Rama Gairola was organised on 20 November 2016 at various places in the State. The untimely demise of Com. Rama occurred on 5 November 2016 after an illness.
A memorial meeting was held in Lucknow. Recollecting the struggles waged by Com. Rama for the rights of workers, farmers and women, speakers at the meeting said that her sudden demise at a time when a more intense and comprehensive struggle against corporate fascism is the need of the hour is an irreparable loss not only for the Party and AIPWA but for the Left people’s movement. The Sankalp Sabha resolved to carry forward Com. Rama’s incomplete struggle for a democratic society against patriarchal and communal-feudal forces. Party district in-charge Ramesh Sengar, Jan Sanskriti Manch convener Shyam Ankuram, Nirman Union Secretary Surendra Prasad, and many others attended the memorial meeting which was presided over by AIPWA Vice President Tahira Hassan and conducted by Meena.
A memorial meeting in Pilibhit was attended by large number of people on 20 November. Com. Rama was fondly remembered by all including Politburo Member Swadesh Bhattacharya, State Secretary Ramji Rai, and CC member Krishna Adhikari. Memorial meetings were also held in Chandauli, Ghazipur, Sitapur and other districts.
