Why it matters
The construction of public memorials for political figures serves to preserve regional history and reinforce the legacy of labor and freedom movements.
The life of veteran communist leader, freedom fighter and prominent trade union leader A.J. Mudhol, who dedicated himself to the cause of the common people, workers and oppressed sections throughout his life, should serve as an inspiration to the present generation, said MLA and Chairman of Karnataka Slum Development Board Prasad Abbayya.
He was addressing a gathering after performing bhoomi puja for the construction of Mudhol Bhavan at Myadar Oni in Old Hubballi on Sunday.
The building is being constructed at an estimated cost of ₹1 crore under the Chief Minister’s Infrastructure Development Programme.
Recalling Mudhol’s contribution to the Karnataka unification movement, Mr. Abbaiya said he actively participated in the struggle for the unity and overall development of the State. He also recalled Mudhol’s sustained efforts to secure due recognition for workers’ labour, fair wages and basic rights, and his significant role in strengthening trade union organisations.
