57th ANNIVERSARY OF 1960 STRIKE
Today is the 57th 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.
M.KRISHNAN

GENERAL
