Senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader K. Kunhiraman breathed his last at a hospital in Kannur district in Kerala late on Wednesday (December 13) night following age-related illness. He was 80.
A former CPI(M) Kasaragod district secretary, State committee member and Thrikaripur MLA, Mr. Kunhiraman played a vital role in various political movements.
Born on November 10, 1943 at Thuruthy, Mr. Kunhiraman’s journey began through student movement. Hailing from a family of traditional medicine practitioners, he was drawn to public service inspired by communist stalwart A.K. Gopalan.
