Bangladesh Nationalist Party acting chairTarique Rahman urged the party leaders and activists to actively contribute to nation-building by carrying out their responsibilities from their respective positions.
‘Let us all, from whatever position we are in, try to rebuild our country,’ he said in a brief address at the BNP’s Naya Paltan central office in the capital, where thousands of party leaders and activists gathered to welcome him.
This was Tarique’s first visit to the Naya Paltan BNP central office since his return to the country 17 years after exile in the United Kingdom.
He also said that if anyone saw a scrap of paper on a street one should remove it (to keep the street clean), stressing that through such small acts, people could come together to build the country step by step.
He also requested the supporters to leave the Naya Paltan road to help ease vehicular movement in the area,
During his address, he urged those present there to offer supplication for the recovery of his ailing mother BNP chair Khaleda Zia.
Amid tight security at and around the Naya Paltan office for his visit, Tarique arrived at the party office at 4:06pm and delivered a short speech from the second floor of the office building.
However, due to the huge crowd, security personnel had to struggle to bring Tarique’s vehicle close to the office. Thousands of party leaders and activists greeted him with loud applause, while Tarique waved back in acknowledgement.
Senior party leaders, including senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, along with officials and staff of the central office, formally received Tarique at the main entrance to the central office.
After entering the office building, Tarique went up to the second-floor balcony and waved to the supporters gathered there. He went to the party office after more than 17 years.
Addressing them, Tarique said, ‘There is no programme here today. If we keep the road blocked, general people will face inconveniences. Since there is no event here now, we should leave the place as quickly as possible.’
Later, Tarique went to his designated chamber on the second floor. This room has been freshly built next to the BNP chair’s room at the party office.
After returning to Dhaka on December 25 following one and a half decades of exile in the United Kingdom, Tarique has been passing busy days.
On the first day, after attending a reception and delivering a speech, he visited his mother Khaleda Zia at Evercare Hospital.
Later that night, Tarique and his family went to House No 196 at Gulshan 2 where he would live. After the assassination of his father, president Ziaur Rahman, the house was allotted to his mother by the then government.
A few months ago, the ownership documents of the house were handed over to BNP chair Khaleda Zia by public works ministry adviser Adilur Rahman Khan and Rajuk chair Riazul Islam Rizu.
Beside the House No 196 on Gulshan Avenue stands another residence named ‘Firoza,’ where his mother Khaleda Zia lives.
A day after his return, Tarique on Friday paid homage at the grave of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman and later paid tribute at the National Martyrs’ Memorial in Savar.
On Saturday morning, he visited the grave of Inquilab Mancha convener Sharif Osman bin Hadi. After offering prayers there, he also paid tribute at the grave of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam.
He then went to the Election Training Institute building at Agargaon, where he completed voter registration.
After that, he visited the Banani Graveyard to pay respects at the grave of his younger brother Arafat Rahman Koko. He also visited the graves of his father-in-law, former Navy chief Rear Admiral Mahbub Ali Khan, at the Banani Military Graveyard, and the graves of army officers who were killed in the Pilkhana massacre.
Earlier on Sunday, Tarique visited the BNP chair’s Gulshan office for the first time and stayed there for nearly nine hours.
