Today, is the 53rd anniversary of the
Glorious Strike of the Central Government Employees which started on 11th
July 1960 and continued for 5 days on the basic demands of the workers. That was
their biggest strike in independent India till then, which shook the edifice of
the Government. It was suppressed by all repressive measures putting thousands in
jail, dismissal, termination etc. But the workers never surrendered. The mighty
one day Token Strike on 19th September 1968 reminded the Government
that the workers can never be suppressed all the times. On this day our Revolutionary
salutes to all those comrades who sacrificed their lives at the altar of
struggle and also who faced inhuman suppression and also the lakhs of workers
who participated. Red Salute to all those who showed through their action that
the united struggle is the right path.
