BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman expressed gratitude to the people of Bangladesh after returning to Dhaka on Thursday. His flight landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 11:40 a.m., accompanied by his wife Dr. Zubaida Rahman, daughter Barrister Zaima Rahman, and their pet cat. Supporters lined the streets to welcome him as his motorcade made its way slowly toward a reception venue in Bashundhara. Following the reception, Tarique Rahman was scheduled to visit his mother, BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, who is receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital in the capital. Security was tightened around the hospital area, with Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel deployed to maintain order. Party activists who had gathered near the hospital were asked to clear the area for safety reasons. Rahman’s return marks a significant moment for the BNP leadership amid ongoing political developments and public anticipation over his next steps.
