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.
