Dhaka, Bangladesh Global: Secretary General of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in a recent statement emphasized that Tarique Rahman's arrival sparks a new era of Bangladeshi politics. "By imprisoning Deshanetri Begum Khaleda Zia and geographically pushing Tarique Rahman away, the past fascist government actually wanted to uproot the nationalist spirit of this country from its very roots. But the inexorable rule of history is that even if truth and justice can be suppressed temporarily, in the end they emerge as victors.", he stated.
"Today, the country, after passing through an extreme critical period, is dreaming of a free, fair, and neutral election. After a long time, when Bangladesh has begun to breathe again, free from the grip of autocracy, at such a juncture the homecoming of Tarique Rahman has infused a new hope for life in the hearts of the common people. He is not returning merely as the leader of a large political party; rather, he is returning with a complete blueprint for a new and modern Bangladesh. His historic "31 Points" have today turned into a people's charter across the country. Through these 31 points, he has presented before the people of the country the design of such a state where there will be a balance of power, the independence of the judiciary will be ensured, and citizens' rights will be unquestionable.", the Secretary General added.
The Biman flight carrying BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and his family is expected to depart London at 6:15pm Bangladesh time on Wednesday and arrive in Dhaka around noon (12:00pm) the following day (Thursday). He is then expected to travel by road to another, presumably bigger, reception at Purbachal's 300 Feet. According to reports, party leaders and activists will line both sides of the road to greet him. The BNP leader is expected to give a speech at the reception.
According to reports BNP expects about five million members and activists in Dhaka on the occasion. There will be special arrangements to bring its supporters to Dhaka from across Bangladesh.
