Dear Readers
I am so Proud to write about the most honest, people centric, selfless and remarkable social activist who is none other than Comrade R.Nalla Kannu. Recently, at the age of 101 he passed away in a Government Hospital, Chennai.
Have you seen any leader with the below qualities in the recent past except a few
- Till the end, lived in a Rental home, did not earn even a single rupee from politics
- Travelled across the length and breadth of Tamil Nadu to take part in the protests for Justice. Most importantly using only public transport
- When a rich person offered him a car, he donated it to his Party office
- Returned the gift amount of 10 lakhs received for the award "Thagaisal Tamilar" with 5000 from his own contribution to the State relief fund in the same stage he received the award
- Once a state congress leader found him lying in a bus stand, shocked by this incident he woke up the comrade and offered him a ride to his destination. with smile, he refused it as usual and said he would travel in the first bus tomorrow morning. This incident brings tears in our eyes
- While other leaders exaggerate the small incidents like drinking tea from a roadside shop for political benefits, his entire life was sacrificed for the state. He never spoke about it and never used his simplicity and honesty for political benefits.
- Our Nation is gifted to have such leaders even in the current generation. My heartfelt gratitude and tribute to the real comrade of our country.
- He is survived by two daughters and their families, like other political leaders he did not create any assets like educational institutions, satelitte channels, movie production companies, liquor factories, etc.
At least by looking at his life, those who are corrupt so far should lead a clean and people centric political life.
Thanks for reading, may his soul rest in peace!!!
Jai Hind!!
