The CPI(M) West Bengal state committee has decided
to observe the 100th birthday of the centenarian leader Samar Mukherjee.
The General Secretary of the party Prakash Karat and state leaders of
Left Front will also be present in that occasion. While addressing the
press the Left Front Chairman and Secretary CPI(M) state committee Biman
Basu announced the programme and also invited left leaderships to
attend the programme.
Basu while explaining the decision to observe the birth centenary of Samar Mukherjee stated that Samar Mukherjee has dedicated his life to the party. It is indeed a rare fact that a party leader is becoming a centenarian in his life and that has influenced us taking the decision to observe his 100th birthday this year. The whole programme will be organized at the 9, Dilkhusa Street commune where the legend leader resides.
While sketching the life of Samar Mukherjee, Biman Basu stated that in earlier days of freedom struggle he participated actively in freedom struggle and became member of Pradesh Congress Committee during. Later being attracted to the Communist Ideologies he became a member of Communist Party in 1940. Since then he remained Polit Bureau member of the party, Chairman, Central Control Commission, party leader in the Parliament, and General Secretary CITU etc. He still remains an invitee member to the party Central Committee.
About the reason behind why party except for Kakababu (Mujaffar Ahmed) does not observe birthday of any leadership, Biman Basu explained that it was an exceptional situation the party was facing in 1963 when party existed in three separate wings. Some of the leaderships were in custody, some in underground, and a few were working openly. It was very difficult to organize programmes overtly to propagate ideological issues. So the leaderships in jail and underground have unanimously decided to observe the birthday of Kakababu as a weapon to propagate the political ideological issues.
