In Bangladesh, political movements have intensified just before the formation of a new government, following the recent elections where the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) secured a notable victory. Tarique Rahman held meetings with Shafiqueur Rahman, the chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, and Nahid Islam, leader of the National Citizen's Party. These discussions come at a critical time as the BNP prepares to form the government with around half the votes and a two-thirds majority in parliament, indicating a strong mandate for their return to power.

The election results have been significant for various parties, with the BNP marking a definitive comeback, while Jamaat-e-Islami performed better than in previous elections, marking their best performance to date. The meeting with political leaders raises questions about whether these discussions are merely formal courtesy visits or if they represent a strategic maneuver in post-elections politics, particularly as all parties assess their positions in the new government structure.

The BNP's communication emphasized that these meetings are part of a 'positive political beginning' following their historic election win. However, the absence of Prime Minister Modi from Rahman's oath-taking ceremony, with Indian delegation being represented by Om Birla, further complicates the regional political landscape, prompting speculation about the implications these political alignments will have on future governance in Bangladesh and its relationships with neighboring countries.
