Comrade Ashok Singh, 61, succumbed to the heat stroke related ailments on 13 June 2024 while he was on the way back in a train to Delhi after participating in the party’s election campaign in Arrah parliamentary constituency in Bihar. His passing is a great shock to his family and the party in Delhi. He had been active as Okhla district committee member among the working class areas in Okhla and Mithapur for more than three decades as a committed member.

Comrade Ashok Singh, fondly known as Master ji among comrades, served as a teacher in a MCD School in Jaitpur and retired just a few months ago. Along with his job he was actively engaged with trade unions as well as local area work. He hailed from Ballia in Uttar Pradesh and came in contact with the party during his education in Allahabad University through AISA. He carried with him the spirit and legacy of the students’ movement of the 1980s and 90s while migrating to Delhi for his job. His sudden passing away is an immense loss for the party in Delhi. We send our condolences to his bereaved family and friends.

Red Salute Comrade Ashok Singh Master ji!
