The politics of Bangladesh is at a crucial juncture. After the change of power and election victory, now the discussion about a new leadership in the country is intense and Tariq Rehman is at the center of this change. His return to his home country after a long stay of nearly 17 years is being seen not just as a political event but as an emotional and historical moment. Along with this comeback, his wife Dr. Zubaida Rehman is also in the headlines, who supported him through every ups and downs.
Return home after 17 years, emotional moment
When BNP acting president Tariq Rahman returned to Dhaka after a long exile, there was an atmosphere of enthusiasm among his supporters. He was also accompanied by his wife Dr. Zubaida Rehman and daughter Jaima Jarnaz Rehman. This return was not only a political but also a very emotional moment on a personal level. It is being told that after reaching Dhaka, Zubaida stayed in her father’s house in Dhanmondi. The family moved to London in 2008 amid legal and political controversies. Now his return after years is being considered as the beginning of an important chapter in Bangladesh politics.
Who is Dr. Zubaida Rehman?
Dr. Zubaida Rehman was born on 18 May 1972 in Sylhet. Zubaida, who was brilliant in studies from the beginning, performed brilliantly in the Higher Secondary Examination and later got admission in Dhaka Medical College. She married Tariq Rehman on 3 February 1994. After completing MBBS, he made his mark in the medical field. In 1995, he joined government service after securing first position in the BCS cadre examination.
Migration to London and educational attainment
After going to London on study leave in 2008, political circumstances changed and he was dismissed from government service. Despite this, he continued his studies and obtained a post graduation degree in Medicine from the prestigious Imperial College, London. During the years he spent in London, he maintained a balance between family and legal challenges.
deep connection with political family
Zubaida Rehman comes from an influential family. His father Rear Admiral Mahboob Ali Khan had been the Chief of the Bangladesh Navy and later became the Minister of Communications and Agriculture. General MAG Usmani, Commander-in-Chief of the 1971 Liberation War, was his uncle. This background gave him the opportunity to observe the national politics and administrative system closely since childhood.
Legal controversy and punishment
In 2008, the Anti-Corruption Commission had registered a case against Zubaida, her husband and her mother-in-law for possessing disproportionate assets. Later a Dhaka court sentenced him to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of Taka 35 lakh. However, his sentence was stayed after the fall of the Awami League government. Tariq Rehman was also facing serious charges like money laundering and conspiracy to assassinate former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, due to which he remained abroad for a long time.
Beginning of a new innings in politics
When the family returned home after more than 6,300 days, it was seen as a sign of a major change in the politics of Bangladesh. After the election victory, everyone’s eyes are on the direction in which the leadership of Tariq Rehman and the active presence of Zubaida Rehman will take the country’s politics in the coming times.
