RIP, Somnath Chatterjee
Chatterjee's life was based on principles, and his calmness allowed him to be a good human being.
Indian politics has lost another great son. The communist leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker (lower house of parliament), Somnath Chatterjee, died at the age of 89 years after suffering from a heart attack. The veteran leader had spent about five decades in politics and was a well-respected figure. He gathered flak from his party for not resigning from the post of the speaker after his party withdrew support from the government. Yet, he was liked by one and all from all political parties, which is an admirable quality in itself.
Chatterjee's life was based on principles, and his calmness allowed him to be a good human being.
May his soul rest in peace.
