Kerala Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan condoles death of M.P. Parameswaran
Kerala Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan issued a condolence message following the death of former nuclear scientist and CPI(M) theorist M.P. Parameswaran. The tribute highlights Parameswaran's contributions to scientific temper, rationalist thought, and participatory development in Kerala.
Why it matters
The death of a prominent intellectual and former CPI(M) member marks a significant loss for Kerala's scientific and social activist communities.
Leader of Opposition and senior CPI(M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan remembered M.P. Parameswaran, the former nuclear scientist and CPI(M) theorist who passed away on Tuesday, as a strong advocate of rationalist thought and participatory development.
“During an extensive stage of his life, he was a strong proponent and promoter of Left politics and scientific socialist thought,” Mr. Vijayan said in a condolence message. Mr. Parameswaran’s stand that participatory development and empowerement of the underprivileged should be ensured had a notable influence on Kerala’s development paradigm, Mr. Vijayan said.
(A long-time CPI(M) member, Mr. Parameswaran was expelled from the party in 2004 for his ‘Fourth World’ ideas).
Mr. Parameswaran has left his mark on Kerala society as a nuclear scientist, promoter of scientific temper and social activist, he said.
