After six long years, veteran journalist of Bangladesh Shafik Rehman is returning home with his wife. His flight will arrive in Dhaka tomorrow Sunday afternoon from the UK. 

The former deputy press secretary of the president of Bangladesh, journalist Samsul Alam Liton, known as a close journalist of Mr. Rehman in the UK, told on Saturday to Daily Dazzling Dawn that, although Shafik Rehman is 90 years old, he is still young at heart. He is supposed to return Bangladesh tomorrow. In response to the question of whether Shafik Rehman wants to return to the editorship of the daily Jayzaydin, Samsul Alam Liton said, the newspaper Jaijaidin was taken away from Shafiq Rehman on the fuel of the One Eleven government by fource. He did not take even that one taka. Now we are hopeful that he will reveal the newspaper through the legal process soon.

Shafik Rahman is now on his way to London's Heathrow Airport. Sharifuzzaman Chowdhury Topon, the founder of the Shaheed Zia Memorial Centre in London, said that he used to live in his own house in West London. His son's house is also nearby. Both Shafiq Rehman and Talea Rahman are not physically very well. The people of Bangladesh know how the newspaper was forcibly taken from his hands. Now, if he wants, we are hopeful that he will be able to publish the newspaper under his leadership soon.

Notably, Shafik Rehman was arrested on April 16, 2016 in the case of 'conspiracy to kidnap and kill' the Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajib Wazed Joy. After being released on bail, he had to leave the country.

Mr Rehman, the prominent Bangladeshi journalist, political analyst, and writer known as the pioneer of introducing Valentine's Day in Bangladesh.

He has worked to gather support in favour of Bangladesh in England with Justice Abu Sayeed Chowdhury during the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971. Mr. Rehman, after attaining chartered accountant status, had worked in several multinational companies in England, Japan, and Arab countries.
