Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, and other political leaders across party lines condoled the death of CPI(M) senior leader Sitaram Yechury.

Stalwart Left leader Yechury, at 3.03 pm on September 12, 2024, passed away, at the AIIMS, New Delhi. The 72-year-old leader was suffering from a respiratory tract infection which developed complications.

PM Modi said Yechury was a leading light of the Left and was known for his ability to connect across the political spectrum. The Prime Minister added that Yechury also made a mark as an effective Parliamentarian.

Expressing his sorrow over his demise, PM Modi said, “My thoughts are with his family and admirers in this sad hour. Om Shanti.”

Senior BJP leader Shah said the demise of the CPI(M) General Secretary Yechury is a loss to the political sphere.

“Saddened to hear about the passing of General Secretary of the CPI (M) and former Rajya Sabha MP, Sitaram Yechury Ji. His demise is a loss to the political sphere. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family members and friends. May God give them the strength to endure this difficult time,” the Home Minister said in a post on X.

In his condolence message, Gandhi called him a protector of the idea of India with a deep understanding of this country.

“I will miss the long discussions we used to have. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and followers in this hour of grief,” the Congress leader said.

Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari also expressed his condolences and said, “Deeply saddened by the passing of Sitaram Yechury Ji.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that Yechury’s death was an irreparable loss at a time when the country and its people are facing serious crises.

“Farewell, Comrade Sitaram Yechury. His passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the Communist movement and people’s struggles. I cherish the moments we shared and his unmatched ideological clarity, strategic brilliance, and dedication to the revolutionary cause. Amid rising inequality and threats to secular and constitutional ideals, his legacy will inspire us to keep fighting for a just India,” the CPI(M) politburo member Vijayan said in a post on X.

National Conference president Farooq Abdullah said Yechury was a very dear friend of his and India is now deprived of such a leader who spoke freely.

“His view was that this country belongs to all of us, no matter which language you belong to and it should be left like this. Everyone has to leave this country and this world. You came from there and you have to go back there. What all battles did Yechury not fight for us. Today I cannot believe that he is no longer among us,” he condoled the demise of CPI(M) leader.

On September 14, the body of Comrade Sitaram Yechury will be kept at the Communist Party of India (Marxist) headquarters, AK Gopalan Bhavan, Gole Market, New Delhi for public viewing and paying homage between 11 am and 3 pm.

Subsequently, the body of Comrade Yechury will be taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, where it will be donated for medical research as per his wishes, the CPI(M) said in a press release.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
