Opportunists and inactives trying best to get Tarique Rahman's attention

What has Tarique Rahman been doing in the UK for the past 16 years, and how is he running the party? Apart from the party leaders, activists, and supporters of BNP, the common people of Bangladesh are interested in this top leader of BNP. 

According to his close source, Mr. Rehman now lives with his wife and daughter in a house in London's Kingston area. In the past, he has met with national and local activists in the lobby of a hotel called Kingston Lodge next to his house, but after the demolition of the hotel, he has reduced his meetings with activists in the last few years. 

After the recent changes in the country, his busyness has naturally increased.Many leaders are trying from Dhaka to come to London to meet him personally. But on behalf of Mr. Rahman, the leaders of the party and his personal stuff are encouraged to communicate online for urgent needs. 

According to the sources, most of the time of this leader is now spent in communication at different levels of the party leaders and activities. Apart from the top leaders of the central and associate alliance of the party, Mr. Rahman has direct communication and relationships with the top leaders of 64 districts. The party agenda and the role of the leaders in the implementation of the agenda at the district level are being directly monitored from London. The senior leaders are regularly connected on video calls for various meetings. Mr. Rahman is continuously instructing the leaders and activists to be more people-friendly in the face of the upcoming election, which will be challenging. Mr. Rehman wants to convey the message that even if the leaders involved in controversial activities are renegades and persecuted, the party will not back down from taking action against them.

Tarique Rahman's biggest success was to keep the BNP united by leading from abroad even after the party was out of power for more than 16 years in the face of the multifaceted activities of the ruling party during the previous government. Mr. Rahman is running the team from abroad.However, in the face of the government's temptations and multi-faceted activities of the intelligence agencies during the previous government's tenure, the fact that there was no division in the party at any stage is seen as a political success of Tarique Rahman by his close allies.


It is learned that despite being the top leader of the party in the UK for a long time, there was no visible result of the activities for Khaleda Zia at the diplomatic level of Britain for her foreign tritment during the last government in Bangladesh.But now gather many people from different sectors who have been inactive in the party for a long time to use the possibility that the good day of the party is coming. For a long time, inactive leaders are also taking various strategies to stay in Mr. Rahman's good book now.A lot of applications have been submitted to reconsider the expulsion orders of those who were expelled for violating the party order at various times in the past. 

 

A leader who is in regular contact with Mr. Rahman in London on condition of anonymity told the Daily Dazzling Dawn that an advisor appointed by Mr. Rahman had been inactive for a long time after marrying the niece of a controversial Awami League MP in Dhaka. He didn't even write or share a single post on Facebook for the party. But after the country's radical change, he also became a member of BNP's Special Assistant to the Chairperson's Foreign Affairs Committee on August 20. This is just an example. Having been inactive during the team's troubles in the past, many are now trying to seek attention from the leader with tales of sacrifices. Multifaceted activities are continued to catch the attention of the leader.

MA Malik, adviser to BNP chairperson and president of the party's UK committee, spoke for a long time with Daily Dazzling Dawn. He said,Tarique Rahman has led the movement of students from outside the country as the main leader of the country's main party. This revolution is the result of a long movement since the one eleven.BNP did not agitate to come to power in the past and will not do so in the future.In response to the question, he said, Now Mr. Rahman is not only organizing the party, but he is working on the outline of the new day of the country.People from different walks of life are contacting him. If ours gets the opportunity, he wants to use those talented Bangladeshis who are working successfully in the different countries of the world for the development of Bangladesh. From the beginning, he was with the families of the activists who were martyred and injured in the anti-Sheikh Hasina movement. 

Although there are several committees for diplomatic activities under the leadership of Mr Rahman, MA Malek denied that there was no progress in diplomatic activities from the party in the past few days. He said all diplomatic initiatives and their results are not always visible. Malek said that he himself participated in five meetings of the United Nations and raised the oppression of Sheikh Hasina's government. Leaders of 45 zonal committees of the UK BNP met British MPs of their respective constituencies and raised the situation in Bangladesh. He added,We did not want to bring up these issues in front of the media for strategic reasons. 


BNP central committee member and United Kingdom BNP general secretary Koysor M. Ahmed talked about Tarique Rahman's recent busyness. He told the Daily Dazzling Dawn on Saturday that no one can be more than two times as prime minister of Bangladesh as was proposed by our leader a few years ago. Secondly, parliament in Bangladesh has to be like the House of Lords and the House of Commons like Britain, which was proposed by our leader long ago. He is working on upcoming elections, giving time to leaders and workers. He has been able to keep the team united even in the face of hundreds of obstacles. The way he has organized the party cannot be understood without deep observation. We want the government to complete the necessary reforms and bring back real democracy in the country through a speedy electoral process. Since the beginning, our leader has been supporting this government in every way.

 Beneficiaries still active.

Although Mr. Rahman from the UK wants to evaluate transparency, it is being disrupted in some areas due to some syndicates formed in London and Dhaka under the identity of "Leader's Private People." The same person has been the president of a district committee of BNP in the country for more than 22 consecutive years. 

Mr. Rahman, after ceremonially receiving the title of joint secretary general of the party, created a database within the party and created a direct relationship with the grassroots leaders of the party.

A responsible source of the BNP, on condition of anonymity, told that,after he became Senior joint secretary general,some of his close people introduced a ring. Despite being out of power for more than 15 years in that syndicate, none of them except Mia Nuruddin Apu were accused in any case. These things are not unknown to Mr. Rahman. Tarique Rahman knows everything.
