“A nation cannot be envisioned without people. People are the soul of nation,” the manifesto reads, “The nation should be strong for a strong nationality; and people should be strong for a strong nation. Strengthening people means strengthening democracy.”

“We will not conduct anything that will be detrimental to the nationality and will not make any compromise on issues of national independence.”
