|February 15, 2026
IN HIS FIRST remarks since winning the elections with a landslide majority, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chief Tarique Rahman, who is tipped to become the Prime Minister, underlined Saturday that he would keep in mind the "interests of Bangladesh" and "protecting the interests of the people of the country" while deciding his foreign policy.
Responding to a question about former PM Sheikh Hasina's extradition request from Dhaka, Rahman said it will "depend on the legal process". Rahman chose his words carefully and responded in a measured manner in his first media interaction at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dhaka, which was packed with local and foreign journalists along with the BNP top brass and activists.
