BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman will return home “in a few weeks” to “lead the final phase” of the restoration of Bangladesh’s democracy, says BNP National Standing Committee member AZM Zahid Hossain. He made the remarks while visiting the tomb of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman in Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar on Thursday morning. In response to a question from the media, he said: “The acting chairman of the nationalist party will not only lead the BNP. In Sha Allah, in a few weeks, Tarique Rahman will come and not only lead the BNP’s election campaign, but also the final phase of restoring democracy.”Tarique has lived in exile in London with his family since 2008, when he became a target of the then caretaker government. BNP leaders and activists, alongside the Diploma Pharmacist Association of Bangladesh, laid wreaths at Ziaur Rahman’s grave to mark World Pharmacist Day.
