CPI(ML) mourns the passing of Anil Chaudhary, a lifelong people's activist, who breathed his last on 14 April 2025. Anil Chaudhary was a leading figure in grassroots people's movements and a passionate advocate of democracy, secularism, and justice. His journey began in the student movement, where he served as the General Secretary of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU).

As a key figure in the Bhumi Adhikar Andolan and People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), he stood by farmers, Adivasis, and all struggling communities. In 1995, he founded the Popular Education and Action Centre (PEACE), a capacity-building organisation dedicated to popular education. He was also involved with the Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF) and was a founding member of the coordination committee of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP). Red Salute to Anil Chaudhary!
