Lok Satta Party President Jayaprakash Narayan on Tuesday expressed his shock and grief over the sudden death of Upadhyaya Satta General Secretary M Sattibabu. The Upadhyaya Satta is a Lok Satta Party affiliated teachers' organization.
Sattibabu passed away in his sleep on the night of February 28th.
Conveying his condolences to Sattibabu's family, Dr. Narayan recalled in a media statement that he had toiled constructively to strengthen Upadhyaya Satta in a short period after its launch in April 2010.
Upadhyaya Satta President S Balakishen Rao and Teachers' Wing Activities Convenor G Raja Reddy said that Sattibabu's death, at a time when the organization is striking roots in the state, is painful.
The Upadhyaya Satta, unlike teachers' organizations affiliated to other political parties, aims at strengthening education in the public sector, and not in fighting for sectional demands. It believes that the country's progress and students' future are intertwined with the respect teachers command in the society.
