Unity Centre of Communist Revolutionaries of India (Marxist-Leninist) senior leader Vijay (74) passed away due to multi-organ failure on July 12 in Hyderabad. He is survived by his wife. He had been suffering from renal failure for several years and was undergoing treatment, said UCCRI-ML Secretary Vinod in a statement.
Vijay, whose full name was Shistla Vijay Sharma, was born on March 19, 1951, in a traditional family in Lankapalli village, Ungutoor Mandal, Krishna district. He completed the AMIE course in Aeronautical Engineering, equivalent to a degree course, while working at the NFC.
He worked as a functionary of communist revolutionaries during the Emergency period (June 1975 to March 1977) while working at the Nuclear Fuel Complex. He organized a team of young workers from the public sector company into the UCCRI(ML) ranks. He resigned from his job in 1981 and devoted his life to the revolutionary movement, facing torture by State forces, Mr. Vinod said.
“The passing away of Comrade Vijay is a severe setback for the UCCRI(ML), the communist revolutionary movement, and the mass revolutionary movement led by them,” said UCCRI(ML) Secretary Vinod.
