First act against CPI(M) mouthpiece for spreading misinformation, Opposition Leader tells Kerala CM

Veteran CPI(M) leader M M Lawrence, who was among the leaders involved in the attack on a police station at Edappally here during the Communist uprising in Kerala in 1950, died on Saturday, party sources said.

He was 95. His death occurred at a private hospital where he had been receiving treatment for age-related ailments for about a month.

Lawrence’s body, which was shifted to the mortuary of the hospital, will be kept at his residence, the CPI(M) Ernakulam district committee office, and the town hall on Monday for the public to pay their last respects.
