Dhaka, 15 April – National Citizens Party (NCP)’s Southern Region Chief Organiser Hasnat Abdullah on Tuesday warned against branding his party’s firm anti-Awami League stance as a “breach of decorum.”

In a post from his verified Facebook account, Hasnat wrote: “The day our anti-Awami League position and rejection of compromise politics began to be called ‘indecorous’ was the day Awami League processions started growing bigger.”

Targeting those he accused of indulging in compromise politics, he said, “I’m warning those who are compromising—make up your mind about the Awami League very soon. Otherwise, you will continue with your compromise politics, and I will respond with indecorous behaviour.”

He added: “You won’t be able to handle it if I start breaching decorum. Be careful.”

His statement came just hours after a video of an Awami League protest march went viral on Facebook.

According to several posts by AL supporters, the march took place in Dhaka’s Badda area, reportedly led by a former Chhatra League leader.

Hasnat, however, did not clarify whom he was directly referring to in his comments or who he considers to be engaged in compromise politics. - UNB
