Oommen Chandy stood for social justice: VHR

 Hyderabad: Congress leaders held a condolence meeting at Gandhi Bhavan on Saturday to remember the late former Kerala Chief Minister, Oommen Chandy, who passed away on July 18th.

Presiding over the gathering, former PCC president V. Hanumantha Rao emphasised Chandy’s commitment to social justice.

Chandy's simplicity and rare leadership qualities were deemed worthy of emulation, and it was expressed that he will continue to be an inspiration due to his exceptional work.
