Hasnat Abdullah has claimed that although the activities of the Awami League can be banned, its financial network remains beyond reach. Speaking in Cumilla, he said that in several upazilas, politics has been sold out to the ruling party's financial influence. Addressing Dr. Asif Nazrul, he asked, “When those involved in murders go to court, which judge grants them bail? Reveal who’s backing them.” He added that it’s not just the government’s failure that the accused are out on bail and roaming in front of the martyrs’ homes, but also the failure of Professor Nazrul himself. “We demand both reform and election,” he emphasized, stating that any election must take place through a process of accountability and reform.
