On behalf of BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, the party’s senior leaders paid tribute to the Freedom Fighters at the National Memorial in Savar around 5:06pm on Friday as he was set to miss the traditional daily deadline of sunset for laying floral wreaths there.
At 5:06pm, BNP Standing Committee Members Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, and Abdul Moyeen Khan, Chairperson’s Advisers Amanullah Aman, Lutfozzaman Babar, Dhaka District Unit President Khandakar Abu Ashfaq, and others laid floral wreaths at the altar of the Memorial, the party’s media cell said in a facebook post.
Tarique’s vehicle convoy is on its way to the Memorial, creeping through a sea of party activists, who have gathered to get a glimpse of their cherished leader after his long exile in London. Earlier, around 4:40pm, he paid tributes and offered prayers at the grave of his father, former president and BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the capital.
Tarique’s convoy left Zia’s mausoleum around 5pm.
