Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon on Saturday said that socialism is not an utopia but a reality and its necessity has not ended in the present world.
“October Revolution is imbued with spirit of ensuring equal rights for all. Its significance should strongly be upheld in the country” he added.
Menon came with this remark while addressing a rally marking century of October revolution organised by Workers Party at the central Shaheed Minar in the capital.
Menon said, “It is constitutional duty to establish socialism as it embraces socialism as one of the main principle”.
“End of discrimination between urban area and rural area is not possible without socialist ideology”,
he said.
The party’s general secretary Fazle Hasan Badsha MP, and politburo member Noor Ahmed Bakul addressed the rally among others.
Later, hundreds of leaders and activists of the party brought out a procession which paraded different streets of the city to celebrate one of the most jolting incidents of the human history.
One of the most explosive events in the history, the Russian Revolution in October 1917 [November in new calendar], organised by the Bolshevik Party under the leadership of Vladimir Ilych Lenin, formed Soviet Union, opening a horizon that influenced all parts of the world.
The revolution brought a radical change in social system, political and cultural spheres, making the people of the world hopeful of bringing changes in their lives, said the party leaders.
