Today, is the 53rd anniversary of the Glorious Strike
of the Central Government Employees which started on 11thJuly
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.
