He said, “They now believe in the spirit of the Liberation. But how much it is will prove through their activities.  It totally depends on their acitivities.”

When asked about Oli Ahmed’s new political platform, he said, “Let them come in the field of democratic politics. We must welcome the new platform. We are not against it.”
