Tarique Rahman Returns to Dhaka, Unveils "Plan" Amidst Bangladesh Unrest

  • Tarique Rahman returned to Bangladesh after 17 years in exile, addressing a massive rally in Dhaka.
  • He promised to reclaim democratic rights, stating "I have a plan," and emphasized public unity and participation.
  • Rahman linked current protests to the 1971 Liberation War and 2024 movements, advocating for an inclusive, democratic Bangladesh.
  • The Yunus-led interim government faces criticism for failing to control rising violence and attacks on minority communities, including the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das.
  • With national elections in February 2026, Rahman's challenge is to restore trust and stability amidst political unrest and minority safety concerns.

Why It Matters: Tarique Rahman's return and "plan" aim to restore democracy and stability in a volatile Bangladesh.
