Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting chairman Tarique Rahman, back from 17 years in exile, addressed supporters in Dhaka as the country faces political tension before the February 2026 elections. Rahman urged peace and inclusivity, saying Bangladesh belongs equally to people of all faiths and regions — Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians and calling for collective nation-building and safety for all citizens. His speech is viewed as an attempt to reassure minorities after recent unrest and incidents targeting communities, while positioning the BNP as a unifying force in the upcoming polls. (PC: Reuters)
