Opposition leader and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Tuesday said if the dream of Tarique Rahman is realised, the country will be benefited through faster progress.
“If the dream of Tarique Rahman is realised, the country and the party will be benefited. The country also would go ahead if the thinking and spirit of Tarique are implemented,” she said, praising her self-exiled elder son as an honest and able leader of the party.
The former prime minister made the remark while addressing a discussion titled ‘The future of nationalist politics and Tarique Rahman: perspective Bangladesh’ organized by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) on the occasion of BNP senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman’s birthday at the Institution of Engineers in the capital in the afternoon.
The student wing of the party arranged a daylong programme to celebrate the 48th birth anniversary of Tarique Rahman, the elder son of the BNP Chairperson, Khaleda Zia, and late president Ziaur Rahman.
Denying Tarique’s involvement in graft, Khaleda Zia said he was not involved in any corruption at all. “He performed his duty very honestly while he has no wealth.”
Claiming as false the allegation of corruption against Tarique Rahman, the former Prime Minister said Awami League had been conspiring against him for long.
She alleged that the Fakhruddin-Moyeen Uddin-led caretaker government wanted to kill him but, he survived by the grace of Allah.
Khaleda urges all to pray for Tarique Rahman so that he can return home recovering from his illness, to lead the nationalist force and build a beautiful Bangladesh for the new generation.
Earlier, Khaleda Zia awarded prizes to winners of drawing competition of children while she also cut a 48 –pound cake to celebrate her elder son’s birth day.
BNP standing committee member Barrister Moudud Ahmed, Barrister Rofiqul Islam Mia, former Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University Prof Emaz Uddin Ahmed, Prof Moniruzzaman Mia and Bar council vice president Khondoker Mahbub Hossain were among others present at the programme while JCD president Abdul Qader Bhuiyan Jewel was in the chair.
