There are concerns about Tarique Rahman's security, but BNP is not panicking. This is what the party's high-ranking workers think. They think that Tarique Rahman's presence will depend on the next national elections and the country's development. Political analyst Professor Sabbir Ahmed said, no matter how much we say or think, Tarique Rahman is a big factor in BNP politics, his arrival is definitely a big factor in the party's revival and in resolving the internal crisis of BNP. His presence will act as a tonic.
BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said, the party led by Tarique Rahman has not been broken. Not only that, the party has become much stronger. They belong to Bangladesh, Bangladesh is first for them. Bangladesh First is the slogan. Such a leader will return to the country, the people are waiting. Under his leadership, we will go to the elections in the coming days.
Even if Tarique Rahman returns to the country on December 25, questions remain. Has the obstacle he had mentioned in his statement expressing regret for not being able to return home during his mother's extreme crisis been resolved? Analysts say that he is returning because it has been resolved.
Bangladesh Asiatic Society General Secretary Siddiqur Rahman Khan said that if there were any obstacles to his return, we believe that a compromise or positive arrangement has been made.
But the shootings of BNP nominated candidate Ershad Ullah in Chittagong and independent candidate and Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Osman Hadi in Dhaka before and after the announcement of the election schedule have alarmed BNP leaders and activists.
Police say that the highest security protocols are being arranged for BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman. Extensive preparations are also being made for his return to the country on the 25th.
DMP DC (Media) Talebur Rahman said that we do not see any concern. We have already taken full security measures for this occasion. We have made adequate preparations by considering the possible routes from the airport to his next destination.
Tarique Rahman will express his gratitude to the people at Evercare Hospital, 300 feet from the airport, after returning home. He will stay at his Gulshan Avenue residence. BNP is working to ensure his security throughout the journey. A separate Chairperson Security Force (CSF) is in place to ensure round-the-clock security.
Tarique Rahman, a member of the Zia family, left Bangladesh in September 2008. Since then, he has been living in London, leaving his family. He said that he was forced to leave Bangladesh on his own will.
Tarique Rahman is scheduled to leave London for Bangladesh at around 11 am on Thursday, December 20, 2025. Political analysts have made such comments based on his presence.
