BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman arrived at Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman on Sunday evening, just two days before forming the next government following his party’s massive victory in Thursday’s national election.
Tarique reached the Jamaat chief’s residence in Bashundhara Residential Area around 7:10 pm to hold a meeting, in what is seen as a positive political gesture after the election, reports The Daily Sun.
He is also scheduled to meet National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam at his residence in the capital’s Bailey Road area around 8:00 pm.
The meetings come a day after Tarique called for cooperation from all political parties and forces to help build a ‘safe and humane Bangladesh’.
BNP is set to form the next government after securing a landslide victory with 209 seats in Thursday’s national election. In the election, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami won 68 seats, while the National Citizen Party secured six.
