Tarique Rahman warns of possible plot to disrupt national election

Earlier on Sunday, during a rally in Cumilla, Tarique told his audience that he was suffering from a fever and had been prescribed antibiotics for seven days by doctors to recover. He was seen coughing repeatedly while speaking at different rallies, as he had caught a cold.

The BNP chairman began his campaign from Sylhet on Thursday (January 22), addressing seven rallies on the same day in Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Kishoreganj, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.

On Sunday, Tarique completed the second phase of his campaign by holding six rallies in around 14 hours across Chattogram, Feni, Cumilla, and Narayanganj, seeking votes for BNP and its alliance partners. He concluded the second phase with a rally at Balurmath in Narayanganj around 2:15am.

Tarique returned to his Gulshan residence around 3:10am on Monday after the intense day of rallies.

He also virtually addressed a rally in Noakhali’s Hatiya on Monday afternoon, seeking votes for BNP candidate Mahbubur Rahman Shamim in Noakhali-6.
