At a condolence meeting in New Delhi, Karat said the real tribute to Yechury’s memory would be “to defend and protect” what the JNU stands for and lamented that efforts are being made to “undermine and destroy the JNU that we had all worked” to create.
“Sitaram, as the General Secretary of our party, the CPI(M), has, in the last one decade, been a relentless fighter for democracy, secularism and federalism, and was playing a key role, important role, in gathering all the secular democratic forces to see that the widest and broadest resistance is put up to this Hindutva, authoritarian, communal regime,” Karat said.
