Veteran CPI leader R. Nallakannu, who had worked closely with N. Sankaraiah, paid his tributes to the latter on Wednesday. He was accompanied by the party’s State secretary R. Mutharasan.
They had worked together since college days. It was Sankaraiah, who organised students in Tirunelveli when Mahatma Gandhi gave the call for the Quit India movement. Subsequently, they were together in the communist party.
