Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has announced that Tarique Rahman, the party`s acting chairman, will be returning to the country very soon.
He disclosed this information to the media on Monday at 9:30pm.
The BNP leader said: "You all know that our leader, Tarique Rahman, has been unjustly exiled abroad due to false cases. He has fully supported this movement, and we have taken steps to bring him back to the country immediately. Insha`Allah, we will be successful."
Mirza Fakhrul added: "It has been decided that our leader Begum Khaleda Zia will be released immediately. Those who were imprisoned for political reasons will also be released. Now, in the current situation, all political parties, students, and the public will work together to control it."
Addressing the nation, he said: "We have achieved a great victory, a great success. To maintain this success, let`s show restraint, not act out of anger or hatred, not attack anyone, and not damage any institutions. Especially, let`s not attack our religious minority brothers."
Mirza Fakhrul further commented that protecting minorities is everyone`s responsibility, stating: "It is our sacred duty to protect them. I urge everyone in our party not to give the opportunity to miscreants to harm others."
