Tarique Rahman
Is distance between govt and BNP centring election only
BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman, standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed, and Mirza Abbas have recently made some comments that make it seem as though BNP is the main opposition party to the interim government. Although BNP also played a major role in the process of forming the interim government led by Dr Yunus after the fall of the Awami League in the face of an uprising in August last. From the beginning, BNP has been saying that the interim government is their government; but, just a few months after this government assumed office on August 8 of last year, a distance or tension began to emerge between the government and BNP. This raises the question: is this distance between the government and BNP only about the election issue, or are there any more reasons behind it?
Tarique Rahman’s political acumen elevates him to unique height
Since February 8, 2018, when BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was imprisoned, Tarique Rahman has been leading the party as its Acting Chairman. Despite being barred from returning to the country, speaking publicly, or having his speeches aired due to court restrictions, he has continued to move forward. His unwavering resolve has dealt a significant blow to his persecutors. He has played a pivotal role in stabilizing the post-2024 uprising political scenario. While many feared that, as a victim of persecution, he might turn vengeful or aggressive, the reality proved otherwise. He consistently called for calm.
Khaleda Zia’s political decorum is worth emulating
In the history of every nation, there comes a time when certain events outshine all others—moments shaped by personalities who alter the course of destiny, inject momentum into national progress, offer new directions, and inspire deep introspection. One such figure in Bangladesh's political landscape is Begum Khaleda Zia, the uncompromising leader and Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), who has long been a symbol of the country’s sovereignty and independence.
