Press Release

 

Prakash Karat, General Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist) has
issued the following statement:

 

Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer

 

I am deeply saddened at the passing away of Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer.
Krishna Iyer was a visionary jurist, statesman and champion of human rights.
Elected as an independent, he became the Law Minister in the first Communist
ministry in Kerala in 1957.  As a Supreme Court judge, he gave several
landmark judgements which interpreted the rights of citizens under the
Constitution favouring the common man.

 

Throughout his life, Krishna Iyer stood for the cause of justice, equality
and socialism.  With his moral stature and deep compassion for the
downtrodden, he played the role of a people's tribune till the end of his
life.  

 

We have truly lost a towering figure whose service to society will always be
remembered.
