Student advisers represent uprising not NCP: Hasnat

Condemning repeated efforts to link two student advisers to the National Citizen party, Hasnat Abdullah, chief coordinator (south) of the NCP, yesterday said Mahfuj Alam and Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain represent the mass uprising, not of any political party.

"We have made it clear that the two advisers whose resignations are being discussed are not affiliated with any political party or the NCP. They are in the interim government as representatives of the people who led and supported the mass uprising," Hasnat said.

He made the statement while speaking to journalists at Biplob Udyan in Chattogram city before joining a series of roadside rallies across different upazilas, organised by the NCP's Chattogram South unit. 

He said, "Division means there will be differences in policy among political parties. During times of crisis, it is our national character to overcome these divisions and unite once again. So, from that perspective, while differences and disagreements continue, the collective effort to overcome the national crisis is also ongoing."
