Comrade Raja Bahuguna, Chairperson of Central Control Commission of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation and one of the founder leaders of the party in Uttarakhand, passed away on 28 November 25 at a hospital in Delhi. He had been suffering from liver and biliary cancer since 2023. We pay our solemn tribute to a comrade whose entire life was woven into the struggles of the masses. Comrade Raja Bahuguna was the national General Secretary and UP State President of the Indian People’s Front. He spearheaded many struggles and was sent to jail many times during these struggles.

The 11th Party Congress held in Patna in 2023 elected him Chairperson of the Central Control Commission. His passing leaves a deep void, but the example he set through his humility, commitment, and unwavering dedication to people’s movements will continue to inspire us for years to come.
