Bangladesh Opposition Leader Tarique Rahman Calls for “Inclusive” Future After Return From Exile
NEW DELHI, December 28, 2025 – Tarique Rahman, the acting chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has called for a future Bangladesh based on inclusivity, peace, and unity, following his return to the country after years in self-exile.
In a statement released Saturday, Rahman elaborated on a speech he gave on December 25, stating his vision for a Bangladesh where all communities feel secure, and children have hope for the future. He emphasized moving beyond “politics driven by vengeance” and highlighted the importance of democracy, multiparty coexistence, and the will of the people.
Since his arrival, Rahman has addressed large crowds, advocating for a political future where all religious and ethnic communities can live together peacefully. He has also paid respects at significant national monuments.
Rahman’s return comes ahead of elections scheduled for February 2026. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has stated that his return should be viewed within the context of India’s support for free, fair, inclusive, and participatory elections in Bangladesh.
