53rd anniversary of the 1960 Glorious Strike of the Central Government Employees
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.
