Will Bangladesh’s New PM Tarique Rahman Reset Ties with India? | Looking Forward
In a potentially major event that can alter the course of Bangladesh’s political history after the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Chairman, Tarique Rahman, retured to Dhaka on Thursday after 17 years in exile.
Rahman is the eldest son of Khaleda Zia, who has served as Prime Minister for three terms, and one of the tallest leaders in Bangladesh’s political landscape. He arrived from London on a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight.
A massive crowd gathered near the airport and along the 300-foot road leading up to it, where BNP leaders and activists prepared a grand reception to welcome the party’s acting chief. According to South Asian experts, the ban imposed on Hasina’s Awami League, barring it from contesting in the upcoming February 2026 national elections, has significantly improved the prospects of the BNP.
India will be represented by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla at the swearing-in ceremony of Bangladesh Prime Minister-elect Tarique Rahman, scheduled for Tuesday, 17 February. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to attend the event due to prior commitments, including hosting French President Emmanuel Macron in Mumbai on the same day. The oath ceremony follows the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s landslide victory, marking a major political transition in the country. The development is being closely watched as Dhaka enters a new phase in its political leadership.
