Nasiruddin Patwari, the chief organizer of the National Citizen Party (NCP), stated that standing for human rights, justice, and dignity represents true patriotism. He made this remark in a Facebook post on Sunday, emphasizing that genuine national loyalty is rooted in defending these values.
In his post, Patwari criticized forms of nationalism that, in his view, betray the aspirations of the July martyrs, mock demands for justice and accountability, and attempt to legitimize the killing of citizens. He declared that he would not compromise with what he described as hypocritical nationalism and deceptive politics.
His statement underscores a call for moral integrity and accountability in political life, linking patriotism to the defense of justice and human dignity.
