Dhaka (FNO):The incident comes at a politically significant moment, as Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader and prime ministerial aspirant Tarique Rahman returned to Bangladesh after 17 years in self-imposed exile, vowing to restore safety, justice, and the rule of law if his party secures victory in next year’s general elections.

Rahman’s return marks a major development in Bangladesh’s political landscape, with supporters hailing it as a turning point ahead of the polls. Addressing party workers, the seasoned political heavyweight pledged to prioritise public security and ensure accountability, amid growing concerns over law and order in the country.

Political observers note that the timing of the incident has intensified scrutiny of the government’s handling of security, even as Rahman positions himself as a central figure in the opposition’s campaign narrative.

The developments are expected to have far-reaching implications as Bangladesh heads into a crucial election year.
