BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman met Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus on Thursday evening at the Chief Adviser’s official residence, Jamuna, accompanied by his wife Zubaida Rahman and daughter Zaima Rahman. According to a source, they shared dinner together following an invitation from Dr. Yunus. The meeting marked Tarique Rahman’s first visit to Jamuna since returning to Bangladesh in late December after years abroad.

The source indicated that discussions might have included the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election and the country’s current political situation, though neither the Chief Adviser’s press wing nor the BNP confirmed any details. Press wing officials said the dinner involved an exchange of greetings in a cordial atmosphere.

This was the third meeting between Dr. Yunus and Tarique Rahman since June of the previous year, when they first met in London after Yunus became Chief Adviser. Their earlier meetings included a private discussion in London and a brief encounter during Khaleda Zia’s funeral prayer at the National Parliament premises.
