Hasnat Abdullah, a prominent leader of the National Citizen Platform (NCP), paid tribute to the late Liverpool and Portugal footballer Diogo Jota during a recent NCP rally. As a mark of respect, Abdullah wore Liverpool’s iconic No. 20 jersey—Jota’s number—honoring the player who tragically died in a car accident.
The gesture stood out as a poignant fusion of politics and global sportsmanship. Amid the rally’s political focus, Abdullah’s act served as a powerful reminder of football’s ability to unite people across nations and cultures, symbolizing shared humanity and collective grief.
