NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah criticized attempts to brand the National Coordination Platform (NCP) as anti-election and condemned the spread of rumors about student advisers clinging to power. "The NCP convener clearly supported the Chief Adviser's proposed timeline of elections between December and June, emphasizing the need for justice and reform in that period," he said. Hasnat warned of a growing subconscious tendency to rely on the military for political arbitration, a dangerous precedent reminiscent of the 1/11 era. “We must remain vigilant to ensure no one paves the way for another 1/11 under the guise of political arbitration,” he cautioned, urging all anti-fascist forces to unite.
