Student Federation of India (SFI), frontal wing of CPI(M), has decided to observe May 2nd as "Martyr Comrade Sudipto Gupta Day" in memory of their 22-year-old leader who died allegedly in police custody in Kolkata on April 2 during a protest.
"Central Executive Committee of the Students' Federation of India calls upon all its state units to observe 2nd May as Martyr Comrade Sudipto Gupta Day," an SFI statement said today.
Sudipto, an MA student of Rabindra Bharati University, died in Kolkata while being taken to jail following a law violation programme by SFI on April 2.
"Today, Sudipto Gupta has emerged as the spearhead of struggle for democratic rights in the campuses of the country and in the one month since his death, our experience has taught us that this struggle is going to be a hard fought one," the statement said.
