THE HINDU DATED 25TH DECEMBER 2025.
1. Return of BNP Leader Tarique Rahman and Bangladesh’s Political Moment
The return of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting chairman Tarique Rahman to Dhaka after nearly 18 years in exile marks a critical political development ahead of the February 2026 general elections. His homecoming, facilitated amid heightened security and administrative preparedness, signals the formal launch of BNP’s election campaign at a time when former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia remains politically inactive due to ill health. The event carries symbolic weight, reflecting both the resilience of opposition politics and the changing political atmosphere after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. Rahman’s emphasis on reconciliation, pluralism, and democratic opposition suggests an attempt to reposition BNP as a moderate national force rather than a confrontational one. Editorially, the episode highlights Bangladesh’s fragile democratic transition, where political stability will depend on restraint by all actors, tolerance of dissent, and credible electoral processes rather than street mobilisation or reprisals.
