DHAKA, Dec 25, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur 
Rahman has extended a warm welcome to Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) 
Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.

In a post on his verified Facebook page, the Jamaat Ameer wrote, "Mr Tarique 
Rahman, welcome home with your family!"

Tarique Rahman returned to his homeland after 17 years in exile. A Biman 
Bangladesh Airlines flight carrying Tarique Rahman from London landed at 
Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka at 11:40 am via 
Sylhet.
 
On his arrival from London, Tarique Rahman was accorded warm reception and 
emotional greetings at HSIA.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir earlier led the party 
standing committee members to greet the acting chairman and accord reception 
at the VVIP Lounge of the airport as Tarique Rahman embraced them with a wide 
smile and warm handshake.

After airport proceedings, he started journey to the 36 Expressway (300-Foot 
Road) venue by a bus amid tight security. Before that, he touched down the 
soil with dew-dropped grasses barefoot and grasped a fist of soil, brought it 
to nose and sniffed being emotional. 

Then, a motorcade escorted Tarique Rahman's bus to the venue as millions of 
people standing on both sides of the airport road bound to 300 feet welcomed 
him with chanting slogans.
