NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah stated in a Facebook post, “Ever since our refusal to compromise with the Awami League was labeled as ‘indecent,’ their rallies have only grown larger.” Warning those engaging in “politics of compromise,” he added, “Decide soon where you stand with the Awami League. If not, while you continue compromising, I’ll continue being ‘indecent.’ And trust me, you won’t be able to handle that.”
