After the bumper victory in Bangladesh elections, BNP President Tariq Rahman appealed to the people of the country to maintain unity. Tariq Rehman dedicated the party’s victory to those who sacrificed for democracy. Addressing the people of the country on Saturday (14 February 2026), BNP Chief said, ‘This victory is of Bangladesh. This is the victory of democracy. This victory belongs to those who had hope for democracy and sacrificed for it. From today we are all free and now the real meaning of rights has been restored.
We have to stay united: Tariq Rehman
Tariq Rahman told the people of Bangladesh, ‘With your spontaneous participation, after more than one and a half decade, the Parliament and the government are being re-established in the country through direct voting. We have to remain united so that no evil force can re-establish dictatorship in the country and the nation does not remain under anyone. I congratulate the people of Bangladesh. Overcoming all obstacles, you have established democracy in the country.
‘Injustice cannot be done to anyone’
According to the Dhaka Tribune report, he said, ‘We need everyone’s cooperation to build a secure Bangladesh. This time everyone will have to work responsibly in the reconstruction of the country. Injustice cannot be done to anyone under any pretext. Law and order will have to be maintained at all costs.
New government will be sworn in soon in Bangladesh
Shafikul Alam, press secretary of Muhammad Yunus, chief advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh, has said that the swearing in of the new government will take place very soon. This means that it should be considered certain that Bangladesh will not have to wait more than three days for its new government. Tariq Rahman, who was in self-exile in London for 17 years, has emerged as the new face of Bangladesh in the general elections as BNP returned to power after a gap of 20 years by securing majority.
Tariq Rehman’s political career was full of ups and downs
Tariq Rehman was sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina’s rally in 2004. 24 people were killed and dozens were injured in this attack. Rahman has always denied these allegations, calling them politically motivated. He was acquitted in all cases during the interim rule of Mohammad Yunus after Hasina was ousted from power. When Khaleda Zia was sent to jail on corruption charges in 2018, Tariq Rehman was named the acting president of the party. After his death, he became the chairman.
