Bangla Press desk : BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has remained abroad for over 15 years, party leaders say he has emerged as a mature political figure, admired for his prudence, foresight, and ability to make timely decisions. As anticipation builds over his return to Bangladesh, BNP insiders allege that a deliberate campaign has been launched to malign him and derail the country's path to democratic transition.
BNP leaders claim that the recent killing of businessman Sohag in Old Dhaka is being used as a pretext by political opponents to spread "false and baseless" information implicating Tarique. They believe this is a last-ditch effort by forces who have failed to counter him politically.
Speaking on the matter, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, “A vested group has had the audacity to launch a character assassination campaign against Tarique Rahman. A planned smear operation is underway against the BNP and its leadership, with Tarique Rahman as the primary target. His exceptional organisational skills—rare in politics—make him the nation’s hope and the symbol of its future.”
According to senior BNP figures, those afraid of Tarique Rahman’s popularity are conspiring to destroy his image out of political insecurity and envy. They argue that whenever national stability begins to emerge, elements threatened by democratic transition turn their focus toward discrediting the BNP leader, particularly through social media and coordinated misinformation campaigns.
