, May 6 -- BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman will return home very soon to lead what the party calls the final phase of the struggle to restore democracy in Bangladesh, said BNP Standing Committee member Dr AZM Zahid Hossain on Tuesday.

"Zubaida Rahman arrived today. the day is not far off when our acting chairman will lead the movement for the restoration of democracy from here, rather than from Britain," Zahid told reporters in front of Firoza, the residence of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.

Zahid, who is also Khaleda Zia's personal physician and accompanied her on the same air ambulance, said the time is approaching when the right atmosphere will allow Tarique Rahman to return home.
