Tarique Rahman scheduled to visit Khulna on Monday

BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman will visit Khulna on Monday, after a lapse of 24 years to attend an election rally.

He will address the rally as the chief guest at 10am at the Probaati School ground in Khalishpur, organised jointly by Khulna Metropolitan and District BNP.

Monirul Hasan Bappi, member secretary of Khulna District BNP, confirmed the visit and said all necessary preparations have been completed following special directives from the party high command to ensure the success of the rally.

Party leaders and activists across the district are actively preparing for the programme, aiming to make the visit memorable, he added.

Bappi said the announcement of Tarique Rahman's visit has generated widespread enthusiasm among party leaders and activists, noting that everyone is eagerly awaiting his arrival.

Former president of Khulna Metropolitan BNP and Khulna-2 constituency candidate Nazrul Islam Manju said a large and spontaneous gathering is expected, drawing people from all walks of life regardless of party affiliation.

Shafiqul Alam Tuhin, general secretary of Khulna Metropolitan BNP, said Tarique Rahman last visited Khulna in 2004, when he addressed a grassroots representatives' assembly at Zia Hall.

He added that the long-anticipated visit has created a festive atmosphere among party activists, who are determined to ensure maximum participation in the rally.
