Senior CPIML member of Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh) Comrade Bela Rani (Mataji) passed away on 9 June 2024. Comrade Bela Rani played a vital role in leading the farmers movements in Pilibhit in the 1970s, despite facing all the repression. Later she and her husband, Comrade Jhanjan Lal (Chhote Mahashay Ji) left CPI and joined CPI(ML).

The Puranpur party office is built on the land given by her. The demise of Comrade Bela Rani is an irreparable loss for the party. Comrade Bela Rani left us at the age of 90, but her struggle, support and affection will always remain alive as an inspiration among us.

Red Salute to Comrade Bela Rani!
