Chattogram Bureau :

BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman will visit Chattogram after a long 20 years and 7 months. He will participate in a prayer meeting for former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia at the city’s Jamiatul Falah Mosque on the evening of January 18. BNP leaders have said that the visit is completely apolitical.

Tarique Rahman will not participate in the election campaign. However, political analysts believe that the visit will energize party leaders and activists, which may have a positive impact on BNP in the elections. Party sources have informed that Tarique Rahman will travel from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar by plane on January 18.

After meeting the family of martyred Chhatra Dal leader Wasim Akram there, he will come to Chattogram by road.
There are no plans for any roadshows or speeches. Chattogram Metropolitan BNP Member Secretary Nazimur Rahman told that Tarique Rahman is visiting Chattogram after a long time on January 18.

This has created great enthusiasm among the leaders and activists. He will participate in a prayer meeting organized for former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia at the Jamiatul Falah Mosque in the city on the evening of January 18.

Tarique Rahman will spend the night in Chattogram on the same night. We have not been informed about the programme on January 19 yet. The leaders of the city BNP believe that his arrival will bring new momentum among the leaders and activists, which will be helpful for the candidates in the next election. It is worth mentioning that Tarique Rahman last visited Chattogram on May 6, 2005.
