Tributes Paid to Comrade Ajmer Singh
The Untimely Passing of Two Communist Leaders Is a Great Loss to the Movement
— CPI (ML) Red Star
Barnala, September 3, 2026
Within a span of just two days, two communist revolutionary leaders have bid a final farewell to the revolutionary democratic movement. Their untimely deaths have deprived the Left and revolutionary democratic movement of two well-known and dedicated comrades.
Speaking at a condolence and tribute meeting held in Barnala, Punjab, Comrade Labh Singh Akalia, State Secretary of CPI (ML) Red Star, Comrade Gurtej Kheewa, and Comrade Nachhattar Singh Ramnagar, a provincial leader of the Mazdoor Adhikar Andolan, said that Comrade Gurnam Singh Daoud, a member of the Central Committee of RMPI, passed away two days ago. Yesterday, Comrade Ajmer Singh Samra, a prominent and senior leader of CPI (ML) New Democracy, also passed away.
This is extremely sad news for the entire movement. The permanent departure of these two comrades is an irreparable loss to the movement. CPI (ML) Red Star pays its heartfelt tributes to the departed comrades and offers them Red Salute.
The leaders further said that the passing away of these two leaders is a great loss to the movement, especially at a time when the entire country has come under the grip of the fascist rule of the RSS-BJP. At a time when the entire revolutionary Left movement needs to unite with complete sincerity and determination to wage a powerful struggle against the jungle rule of the Sangh Parivar’s Manuvadi fascist-corporate alliance, the loss of such fighting communist leaders is particularly painful.
Today, oppressed and toiling people, revolutionary forces, and minorities—including Muslims, Christians, and other minority communities—are under attack and are being increasingly targeted by the RSS and the fascist forces associated with it. The fascist forces are rapidly advancing their agenda of reducing minorities, particularly the Muslim community, to the status of second-class citizens.
At such a critical juncture, the passing away of these two fighting communist leaders is a profound and irreparable loss to the revolutionary and democratic movement.
