Tarique to return home December 25

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman will return home on December 25 after 17 years of exile in the UK.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir shared this information at a press conference at the party chairperson's Gulshan office on Friday night, December 12.

During the 1/11 government, Tarique Rahman was arrested on March 7, 2007. He was granted bail on September 3, 2008, and left for London with his family on September 11 for medical treatment. Since then, he has been living in London with wife Zubaida Rahman and daughter Zaima Rahman.

During the last Awami League government, he was sentenced in five different cases in his absence, while around 100 cases were filed against him.

But after the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, he was cleared of all charges through legal processes. Now, he has no cases pending against him.
