The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has instructed its leaders and activists in Sylhet not to gather at Osmani International Airport to welcome acting chairman Tarique Rahman, who is scheduled to return from London on Thursday, December 25. The directive was issued through a press release by BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday. According to the statement, Tarique Rahman’s flight will arrive in Bangladesh via Sylhet before landing at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. The party urged all levels of BNP and affiliated organizations to refrain from forming crowds at the airport, emphasizing discipline and adherence to party instructions. The call for restraint appears aimed at avoiding public gatherings that could draw attention or create logistical challenges. BNP leaders in Sylhet district and metropolitan areas have been specifically asked to comply with the directive. Tarique Rahman’s return marks a significant political moment for the party, which has been preparing for renewed leadership activity ahead of future political developments.
