Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has urged party lawmakers to remain politically active on the streets, saying they must confront all conspiracies through continued street presence.
“The message is loud and clear: We are on the streets, and we must remain on the streets. We must confront all conspiracies on the streets,” he told BNP lawmakers at a meeting of the party’s parliamentary group at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban on Monday afternoon.
The meeting was held ahead of the fourth session of the 13th National Parliament, with Tarique Rahman presiding as Leader of the House.
According to sources present at the meeting, the possible return of ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh also came up for discussion.
Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed reportedly told the meeting that the government would take necessary legal steps under the existing extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India if Hasina sought to return to the country.
The meeting also discussed ongoing road development projects, the country’s energy and electricity situation, law and order, and the market situation for essential commodities ahead of Ramadan.
Tarique Rahman sought updates from the relevant ministers on the progress of their respective ministries, while the home minister briefed lawmakers on the overall law and order situation.
Sources said the prime minister did not make any direct comment on Hasina’s possible return.
