The BNP's acting boss says he'll never forget coming home. Tarique Rahman called last Thursday, the day he returned to Bangladesh after seventeen years abroad, a permanent memory. He posted on Facebook Saturday night about the huge welcome he received. He thanked the crowds lining Dhaka's roads and millions for their prayers, saying their courage gives him strength. He also expressed gratitude to civil society, young people, professionals, farmers, workers, and all citizens.
He gave a shout-out to the media for professional coverage and to security personnel for keeping things safe. He thanked leaders from other political parties who welcomed him back and acknowledged their messages about democracy and moving past vengeful politics. After landing, he was taken to the 36 July Expressway for a big reception where he gave a speech. He wrote that he outlined a plan for the country's future focused on peace, dignity, and hope for every child. He finished the post by blessing Bangladesh and its people.
