Tarique takes a quiet walk to BNP’s Gulshan office

Bangla Press Desk: BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman on Friday walked to the party’s chairperson’s Gulshan office, drawing attention for the unusual mode of travel.

He reached the office at around 4:00pm, according to BNP Gulshan office sources and eyewitnesses.

Earlier in the day, Tarique performed Friday prayers at the Naval Headquarters mosque before returning to his Gulshan-2 residence.

From there, he walked to the Gulshan office, reaching it within 10 minutes.

Since returning to Bangladesh from London on 25 December last year after 17 years in exile, Tarique has been working at the Gulshan office almost daily.

However, his Friday’s walk surprised many, as it came despite the security risks usually associated with the movement of senior political leaders.
