The Dhaka University (DU) unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal organized a goodwill and welcome rally in anticipation of the homecoming of Tarique Rahman, Acting Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
The rally began at 4pm on Tuesday from the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University.
It later marched chanting slogans through the VC Chattar and Hallpara, parading along several important campus roads, and concluded with a brief gathering in front of Rokeya Hall.
Leaders and activists of Chhatra Dal from various halls and units of Dhaka University participated in the welcome rally.
At the brief post-rally gathering, DU Chhatra Dal President Ganesh Chandra Roy Sahas said, “National leader Tarique Rahman has led the anti-fascist movement of this country from abroad over the past 15 years. Putting an end to our long anticipation, he is going to return home very soon. We welcome his return.”
He also called upon all members of Chhatra Dal to work toward implementing Tarique Rahman’s 31-point agenda to transform Bangladesh into a state based on equality, morality, and humane values.
DU Chhatra Dal General Secretary Nahiduzzaman Shipon said, “We believe that his arrival will open a new chapter for democracy in this country. The nation will once again move forward on the path of democratic progress.”
