‘I have a plan’: After 17-year exile, Tarique Rahman Returns

way2barak, Dec 25: Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) acting chairperson Tarique Rahman — who is the son of former prime minister Khaleda Zia — returned to Dhaka after 17 years of exile to a rousing welcome.

Standing at the podium, Rahman addressed his admirers who had turned up in large numbers, where he invoked the words of late American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Junior, saying, “I have a plan”.

“American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr, in a public speech, said, ‘I have a dream.’ Like him, I want to say, I have a plan for Bangladesh” he said.
