BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has said that his decision to return to Bangladesh is not entirely under his personal control, despite growing calls for his return as his mother, BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, remains critically ill in intensive care. In a Facebook post on Saturday morning, Rahman expressed gratitude to citizens and international well-wishers for their prayers and support for Khaleda Zia’s recovery. He mentioned that both local and foreign medical teams are providing dedicated care, and several friendly nations have offered assistance for advanced treatment. Rahman added that while he deeply wishes to be with his mother during this critical time, political realities limit his ability to make an independent decision about returning home. He expressed hope that once circumstances permit, his long wait to return to Bangladesh will finally end.
