Dhaka/New Delhi: BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman on Friday visited the grave of his father and Bangladesh’s former president Ziaur Rahman in Dhaka, a day after he returned home from self-exile in the UK.
Rahman reached Zia Udyan in a red-and-green bulletproof bus and paid floral tributes at the grave, offering ‘dua’ and ‘munajat’ for the eternal peace of his father’s soul, news portal bangla.daily-sun.com reported.
