BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman is set to return to Bangladesh on Thursday, marking his first public appearance in years. According to BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed, Rahman will visit his mother, former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, who is undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital. Following the hospital visit, he will deliver a short address at the 300 Feet area in Dhaka, where a limited-scale reception has been arranged. At a press conference held at the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office, Salahuddin Ahmed apologized to Dhaka residents for any inconvenience caused by the event. He emphasized that Rahman does not support programs that create public suffering. To minimize traffic disruption, the event will be held on the service lane of the 300 Feet road, and only Rahman will speak. Party leaders and activists have been instructed to use the Kanchan Bridge route for travel. Rahman’s return is expected to energize BNP supporters ahead of upcoming political activities, while authorities prepare for crowd management and security measures in the capital.
