Hasnat Abdullah, leader of the National Citizen Party, claimed in a Facebook post today that a conspiracy is underway to rehabilitate the Awami League under a "Refined Awami League" at the behest of India. He said the proposal, pitched to him and two others on March 11, involved former AL leaders like Saber Hossain Chowdhury and Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury.Hasnat rejected the proposal, asserting that efforts should focus on prosecuting the Awami League rather than allowing its return. He further claimed they were threatened with bearing responsibility for any crisis resulting from their rejection.Calling for public support, Hasnat emphasized that the Awami League's return would undo the gains of the July uprising. He firmly stated, "If you attempt to reinstate the Awami League, it will have to be over our dead bodies." He urged the public to unite and prevent the Awami League's comeback, declaring it must be banned.
