Abul said on Dec 21, 2018: “The government is the most devastating factor for the national fabric. It remains silent whenever someone adopts a sectarian speech, yet it sues whoever advises it to take action against those who spread sectarianism in society. As MP, I represent the entire society. However, I have to be concerned about a group of citizens who feel isolated and marginalized as well. The government condemned me for adopting such a position; thereby, forcing me to react somewhat impolitely.”
