According to the plan, Tarique Rahman will depart London’s Heathrow Airport on a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight, accompanied by his wife Dr Zubaida Rahman and daughter Zaima Rahman. To minimise public inconvenience and traffic congestion in Dhaka, Tarique Rahman alone will speak at the reception, said Salahuddin. On Friday, following the Jummah prayers, Tarique Rahman will visit the grave of BNP founder and former president Ziaur Rahman. On Saturday, Tarique Rahman will be formally registered as a voter. Tarique Rahman was arrested during the caretaker government in 2007 and spent around 18 months in prison.
