"Castro was not just the leader of Cuban Communist party but the brave leader of world communist movement. Beyond that, he was the inspirational force of anti-imperialist movements the world over," he said in a statement here.  Describing Castro as a man of "strong and unparallelled personality", Vijayan hailed the challenges he had posed to the imperialist policies of the US. 

Marxist veteran and former Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan said Castro's death was a "great loss" to humanity in these days as imperialist forces were spreading its roots globally.
