Now an MP, Hasnat Abdullah Takes 'Live Class' for the People

Upholding the slogan "Integrity, Justice, and the People are the Capital," Hasnat Abdullah, Member of Parliament for Cumilla-4 (Debidwar) and Chief Organizer (South) of the NCP, has introduced a unique "Live Class" to ensure accountability to his constituents.

On Tuesday midnight, during a live broadcast from his verified Facebook profile, he presented a detailed ledger of government services and development projects allocated to his parliamentary area. Using a digital board and slide presentations, the live session mirrored a classroom teaching style, sparking widespread discussion among the general public.

In this "Live Class," Hasnat Abdullah provided a ward-based breakdown of ongoing government services, development project progress, and the distribution of relief materials in Debidwar Upazila. He also addressed contractors, guaranteeing a "commission-free business environment" while urging them to increase efficiency to complete projects swiftly.

Towards the end of the broadcast, he emphasized the importance of implementing the "July Sanad" (July Charter), signed on the basis of political consensus.

To maintain the continuity of this initiative, he announced the launch of a dedicated Facebook page titled "Jobabdihita" (Accountability). He stated that regular updates regarding all work in his constituency will be posted there, and the accounts for every development project will be explained to the public "down to the last penny."

Before entering politics, Hasnat Abdullah was involved in teaching and the coaching profession. While a student at Dhaka University, he gained immense popularity as an English teacher at an institution named "School of Excellence."

It is understood that returning to this familiar persona after being elected as an MP is his chosen method for maintaining transparency before the public. During the live session, he provided the public with a clear understanding of the current status of various field-level projects, including road construction, and offered guidance on the roles and responsibilities of the local residents.

Relevant circles view this direct approach of an MP providing accounts to the public, leveraging teaching skills to ensure accountability, as a new and positive precedent in the political arena. Hasnat Abdullah’s "Live Class" and accountability initiative are receiving widespread praise on social media, with a significant number of people sharing the content.
