Tarique Rahman confident of BNP victory as he plots return for electionTarique Rahman has said he will return home to take part in the upcoming national elections. He insisted that the student-led movement that toppled Hasina’s “authoritarian regime” would only be fulfilled through a “free and credible” election. “We strongly believe we are in a position to form the government alone.”Tarique added that his return to Bangladesh was imminent. He accused the Awami League of being “fascist” and said the BNP would open its doors to new political forces, including student leaders who spearheaded last year’s uprising. He also pledged a “Bangladesh before all” foreign policy with India, aimed at resetting what he described as a “one-sided” relationship.
