The chief organizer of the National Citizen Party (NCP) for the southern region, Hasnat Abdullah, took to Facebook yesterday to express his strong disapproval of a recent headline published by Prothom Alo. The report, titled “Questions about Hasnat’s luxurious lifestyle,” drew a sharp response from him. In his post, Hasnat directly addressed the journalist behind the article, inviting them to visit his home and judge for themselves how ‘luxurious’ his lifestyle truly is. He added that if the intention behind the report was to silence him by publishing such news from Delhi, then they were clearly mistaken.

“If I were the kind of person who could be silenced, I would’ve stepped back a long time ago,” Hasnat wrote. “I stood alone, risking my life, to resist the return of a so-called clean image of the Awami League. If luxury or comfort had ever been my goal, I could’ve easily chosen that path—by joining India or people like you who make strategic moves for ministerial posts. But I didn’t. I never walked that road, and I never will.”

He further stated that no amount of what he called “information terrorism” could force him to stop raising his voice against India and other forces. He made it clear that as long as he is alive, he will never allow any attempt to bring the Awami League back into power.

Hasnat went on to say that everything about his financial life is transparent and available—his bank accounts, tax returns, everything is on record. The journalist could have accessed these details if they truly wanted to report with accuracy, he claimed. He emphasized that none of the allegations made in the report were even brought up or discussed in the meeting referred to in the article, yet a “blatant lie” was published.

He reiterated his stance with a challenge: “Prove that I’ve taken even a single taka from anyone. Let there be an investigation—by the government or a private body, I don’t care. If anything is proven, I will leave politics on my own. But don’t think you can remove me from politics with false reports like this.”

In closing, Hasnat accused Prothom Alo of having a history of targeting honest and patriotic political figures through false reporting. According to him, anyone who has dared to stand against what he called “Indian imperialism” has faced similar attacks, and he is simply the latest name on that list.
