In a strong reaffirmation of faith-driven governance, Hasnat Abdullah, principal coordinator (south) of the newly formed National Citizen Party (NCP), has said his party’s decisions will always align with religious values, reports the Daily Sun.
“I will never indulge in any politics, hurting the religious sentiment of the people of my country,” Hasnat Abdullah wrote on his verified Facebook page on Saturday, a day after the inception of the NCP, amid the country’s volatile political situation.
Preferring to be known as a true Muslim rather than a politician, the visionary student leader said, “I am a Muslim before I am a politician. This is my identity, and it always will be.”
“Nothing against religious values will ever have a place in my or our politics,” wrote Hasnat who received strong applause from the audience when he was addressing a mammoth rally in Dhaka on Friday, chanting the slogan Inqlaab Jindabad means long live the revolution.
In the write-up, Hasnat acknowledged that he is not above making mistakes and called upon the people to give him a chance to correct his unintentional errors.
