Tarique Rahman

Rahman was born on 20 November 1965 in Dacca, East Pakistan (modern-day Dhaka, Bangladesh).{{cite news |title=Tarique Rahman turns 60 today |url=https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/tarique-rahman-turns-60-today-998126 |work=The Business Standard |date=20 November 2024 |language=en}}{{cite web |title=Tarique Rahman Biography |url=https://www.bnpbd.org/leader-details/acting-chairman-tarique-rahman |publisher=Bangladesh Nationalist Party |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240809012910/https://www.bnpbd.org/leader-details/acting-chairman-tarique-rahman |access-date=22 August 2024 |archive-date=9 August 2024 |language=en}} He belongs to a notable Bengali Muslim political family of Mandals hailing from Bagbari in Gabtali, Bogra District. His father, Ziaur Rahman, was the 7th President of Bangladesh, and his mother, Khaleda Zia, was the 10th Prime Minister and first female Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

In his early childhood, he studied at BAF Shaheen College Dhaka and completed his SSC from Dhaka Residential Model College. He then earned his HSC from Adamjee Cantonment College. In 1984–85, he was admitted to the University of Dhaka first in the Department of Law and later in the Department of International Relations.{{cite web |title=Personal life |website=Tarique Rahman |url=https://www.tariquerahman.info/tarique-rahman/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240716054055/https://www.tariquerahman.info/tarique-rahman/ |access-date=28 November 2015 |archive-date=16 July 2024}}

Rahman started his political career as a primary member of the Gabtali Upazila, Bogura District Branch of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party in 1988.{{cite news |title=BNP acting chairman Tarique turns 60 |url=https://today.thefinancialexpress.com.bd/politics-policies/bnp-acting-chairman-tarique-turns-60-1732123263 |work=The Financial Express |date=21 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241121002152/https://today.thefinancialexpress.com.bd/politics-policies/bnp-acting-chairman-tarique-turns-60-1732123263 |archive-date=21 November 2024 |language=en}}

Rahman actively assembled support for the party during the national elections of 1991, when the transition was taking place from military government to the elected BNP government.

Rahman was a member of the BNP's National Campaign Strategy Committee and was also responsible for coordinating the election campaigns in five constituencies in which his mother Khaleda Zia was running."The Political Thought of Tarique Rahman"

During that period, he proactively organized the BNP units of Bogura and changed the inherent cultures to make politics more production- and development-oriented.

After the BNP's success in the national elections of 1991 and the formation of the new government, Rahman was offered a senior role in the party as recognition of his contributions. However, he was reluctant to take up a higher position, preferring to have enough time to strengthen the party at the grassroots level. For many years, he remained active in developing the Bogura units of the BNP. During the national elections of 1996, the party grassroots and the senior leadership requested Rahman to contest a constituency from Bogura, but he declined the offer with a view to furthering his work at the grassroots levels and coordinating the election campaigns for his mother.{{cite news |url=http://www.itnsource.com/en/shotlist/RTV/1991/03/18/RTV180391005/?s=zia%20and%20bangladesh%20and%20parliament |title=Bangladesh, Khaleda Zia Head Of Bangladesh National Party, Appointed First Woman Prime Minister |work=ITN Source |date=18 March 1991 |access-date=26 December 2013 |archive-date=24 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224100054/http://www.itnsource.com/en/shotlist/RTV/1991/03/18/RTV180391005/?s=zia%20and%20bangladesh%20and%20parliament |url-status=live}}

During the rule of the Awami League regime from 1996 to 2001, Rahman mobilized movements against the actions of the government. He actively campaigned to address issues of economic deprivation and started championing a countrywide consultation program aimed at publicizing the plight of the people living in rural areas.

In the national elections held in 2001, the BNP won a landslide victory with a two-thirds majority.{{Cite web |url=http://www.ecs.gov.bd/Bangla/ShareVote.php?&electionid=8&electionName=Parliament%20Election%202001 |title=Share of Votes by Party |website=Bangladesh Election Commission |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224165000/http://www.ecs.gov.bd/Bangla/ShareVote.php?&electionid=8&electionName=Parliament%20Election%202001 |archive-date=24 December 2013 |access-date=22 December 2013}}

Tarique Rahman was the prime suspect in the 21 August 2004 Dhaka attack, which targeted a public rally organized by the then-opposition party Awami League. The attack targeted the entire top leadership of the Awami League, including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and killed 24 Awami league leaders and workers including Ivy Rahman, the president of Mohila Awami League and the wife of former Bangladeshi president Zillur Rahman. The attack also injured hundreds of Awami League members. Tarique Rahman was sentenced to life imprisonment by Bangladesh Court.{{cite news |title=It was Hawa Bhavan Plot |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-111469 |newspaper=The Daily Star (Bangladesh) |date=26 October 2009 |access-date=22 July 2016 |archive-date=17 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201117122749/https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-111469 |url-status=live}}{{Cite news |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/19-sentenced-to-death-19-to-life-imprisonment-in-in-2004-grenade-attack-in-bangladesh/articleshow/66146547.cms |title=19 sentenced to death, 19 to life imprisonment in 2004 grenade attack in Bangladesh |date=10 October 2018 |work=The Economic Times |access-date=12 January 2024}}

Following the release of Rahman's mother Khaleda Zia on 11 September 2008, he flew to London, United Kingdom for medical treatment at Wellington hospital, an independent private hospital in St. John's Wood. The 1/11 caretaker government, backed by the army, confirmed that Rahman had given a written promise to not indulge in any future politics and was thus allowed to go abroad.{{Cite news |title=Britain to consider BNP chief's visa |url=https://www.newagebd.net/article/117697/britain-to-consider-bnp-chiefs-visa |access-date=8 November 2020 |work=New Age |language=en}}

The Anti-Corruption Commission filed 12 cases against Rahman and his friend and business partner, Giasuddin Al Mamun. The BNP claimed these cases were politically motivated and that cases were being filed as part of the conspiracy of the immediate past caretaker government to prevent Rahman from participating in Bangladeshi politics. On 16 October 2009, the High Court issued a ruling asking the government and the Anti Corruption Commission to explain why the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case against Khaleda Zia and Rahman should not be quashed on a petition filed by Zia.{{cite news |title=HC asks why Zia Trust case will not be cancelled |url=http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?id=144957&cid=3 |newspaper=bdnews24.com |date=15 October 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220192100/http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?id=144957&cid=3 |archive-date=20 February 2012}} On 9 November 2017, the Bangladesh Supreme Court dismissed Khaleda and Rahman's petition seeking a stay on trial proceedings on the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case. The lower court then had no legal bar to continue the corruption case against them.{{cite news |title=Graft case: SC clears way for trial against Khaleda |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/politics/graft-case-sc-clears-way-trial-against-khaleda-1488688 |newspaper=The Daily Star |date=9 November 2017 |access-date=9 November 2017 |archive-date=26 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211126175540/https://www.thedailystar.net/politics/graft-case-sc-clears-way-trial-against-khaleda-1488688 |url-status=live}}

Khaleda Zia said her son would take part in active politics upon his return from abroad after completing treatment. She addressed a few public meetings on her way to Bogura and alleged that the then-present government was trying to harass her son so that he could not return to the country. She said, "Tareque worked for the development of the country, but a lot of cases were filed only to destroy him as a part of national as well as international conspiracies." She also added, "On March 7, 2007, he was picked up in a car right in front of me. But after the custody my son had to be sent abroad in a stretcher for treatment...

On 8 December 2009, in The 5th National Council of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Rahman was declared as the senior vice chairman of BNP.{{cite news |title=Tarique made senior vice chair |url=https://bdnews24.com/politics/tarique-made-senior-vice-chair |newspaper=bdnews24.com |date=8 December 2009 |access-date=21 December 2013}}{{cite news |last1=Liton |first1=Shakhawat |last2=Suman |first2=Rakib Hasnet |date=9 December 2009 |title=Tarique made powerful senior vice-chairman |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-116937 |newspaper=The Daily Star (Bangladesh) |access-date=7 November 2020}}

In 2015, Tarique Rahman registered a private firm by the name of White and Blue Consultants Limited, which is a PR and communications firm. The documentation of incorporation filed with the UK Companies House shows that Tarique listed his nationality as British. However, in 2016, he amended the paperwork and listed his nationality as Bangladeshi.{{Cite web |url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/politics/144980/did-tarique-register-his-pr-firm-in-uk-as-a |title=Did Tarique register his PR firm in UK as a British citizen in 2015? |access-date=8 January 2024 |archive-date=8 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240108121315/https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/politics/144980/did-tarique-register-his-pr-firm-in-uk-as-a |url-status=live}} However, this error has been used by many as evidence to support claims of state officials including Md.

Shahriar Alam demanding an apology for his remarks about him allegedly having British citizenship.

In November 2018, Rahman conducted the interview process through Skype for the nomination seekers of BNP party at the 2018 Bangladeshi general election.{{Cite news |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/js-polls-2018/bnp-nomination-interview-process-tarique-rahman-presence-via-skype-blocked-1663135 |title=Tarique joins nomination seekers' interview thru' Skype |date=20 November 2018 |work=The Daily Star (Bangladesh) |language=en |access-date=4 March 2020 |archive-date=11 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111054426/https://www.thedailystar.net/js-polls-2018/bnp-nomination-interview-process-tarique-rahman-presence-via-skype-blocked-1663135 |url-status=live}}{{Cite news |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/js-polls-2018/news/tarique-rahman-taking-bnp-nomination-seekers-interview-illegal-says-obaidul-quader-bangladesh-politics-1662928 |title=Tarique's taking BNP nomination seekers' interview illegal: Quader |date=19 November 2018 |work=The Daily Star (Bangladesh) |language=en |access-date=4 March 2020}}

On 7 June 2007, a money laundering case was submitted against Rahman and his friend and business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun by the Bangladesh Anti Corruption Commission at a court in Dhaka.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/14/world/asia/14bangla.html |title=Bangladesh Military Government Holds 40 in Graft Sweep |work=The New York Times |date=14 March 2007 |last1=Sengupta |first1=Somini |access-date=13 July 2024 |archive-date=13 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713103731/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/14/world/asia/14bangla.html |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/09/world/asia/09briefs-bangladesh.html |title=Bangladesh: Warrant Issued for Son of Former Premier |work=The New York Times |date=9 August 2011 |access-date=13 July 2024 |archive-date=13 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713103731/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/09/world/asia/09briefs-bangladesh.html |url-status=live}} In a verdict given on 18 November 2013 by the court, Rahman was acquitted in the case involving BDT 20.41 crore. Bangladesh Anti Corruption Commission member Mohammed Shahabuddin rejected the verdict, saying: "Tarique and Mamun had equal footing in the crime.

BNP officials and leaders have claimed that this judgement is proof of his innocence, that he had no involvement with corruption, and that all the cases against Rahman were "politically motivated".

On 21 July 2016, Rahman was found guilty by the Bangladesh High Court, overturning a lower court verdict that acquitted him earlier. He was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment and fined Tk 20 crore by the Court. One interesting thing to note in this case is that right after delivering the controversial not-guilty verdict, the lower court judge fled the country.{{Cite news |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/tarique-convicted-jailed-7-years-1257541 |title=Tarique convicted, jailed for 7 years |date=22 July 2016 |work=The Daily Star (Bangladesh) |language=en |access-date=25 January 2020 |archive-date=11 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111091822/https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/tarique-convicted-jailed-7-years-1257541 |url-status=live}}
