I was contacted, to take my opinion. I gave the news that there is no profit in turning behind the Muslim League, this institution has become a detached government institution. They will not go even if they want to take us. Because they have made a hole. It can no longer be called a people’s institution. They have no strategy. I was further asked, will I organize students, or join a political organization if it is formed? I replied that I will not do student politics anymore, I will do political institutions. Because if the opposition party cannot be formed, dictatorship will continue in this country.
