See also: Bangladeshi nationalismThe BNP promotes a center-right policy combining elements of conservatism, nationalism, militarism, anti-anarchism, and anti-communism. It is more popular among the country's business class, military, and conservatives. The party believes that Islam is an integral part of the socio-cultural life of Bangladesh, and favors Islamic principles and cultural views. This is clearly seen through its alliance with the Islamic party of Jamaat. Since the 2001 general election, the party's religious point of view has been largely shifted against inclusion of religious minorities, although a number of leaders representing the minority communities were nominated for the election.
