Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced that the party’s acting chairman, Tarique Rahman, will return to Bangladesh soon. Speaking at the inauguration of a BNP workshop titled “Nation-Building Plan” in Dhaka, Fakhrul urged party members to ensure that the entire country ‘shakes’ with enthusiasm when Rahman sets foot in the country. The event, held at the Krishibid Institute, was attended by leaders from various BNP wings.

Fakhrul emphasized that the BNP must achieve a decisive victory in the upcoming national election to lead Bangladesh toward progress. He described the BNP as a party rooted in the nation’s liberation and democratic struggles, asserting that it represents the people’s aspirations. The workshop, chaired by senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, focused on strategic planning for national development under a potential BNP-led government.

Rahman, who has been living abroad for years, remains a central figure in BNP politics. His anticipated return is expected to energize the party base and reshape the opposition’s campaign strategy ahead of the next election.
