“After a long battle for life, Comrade Manab Mukherjee has left us,” CPM state secretary Md Salim said.
Several CPM leaders recalled Mukherjee’s skills as a public speaker and ability to write on a wide range of ideological issues. “He has several books to his credit,” said a DYFI leader.
Mukherjee was first elected to the Assembly in 1987 from Beliaghata.
