Rift in US Awami League over programs surrounding Tarique Rahman's visit
Centering Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's New York visit to attend the United Nations General Assembly, US BNP and Awami League have announced rival programs. However, disagreements have emerged among the party's own leaders over the program announced by Awami League.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to arrive in New York on September 21. US BNP has organized a rally at John F. Kennedy Airport to welcome him. On the same day, US Awami League has announced a protest there with a three-point demand.

Among US Awami League's demands are the withdrawal of the ban on the party's activities, the cancellation of cases and sentence against Sheikh Hasina, and the release of detained political leaders. The organization's president, Siddikur Rahman, said they will not hold any unpleasant program and are also willing if there is an opportunity for dialogue.

However, a section of Awami League is opposing his stance. They have taken a position in favor of tough programs to resist Tarique Rahman and his travel companions. Conflicting remarks are also being seen among leaders and activists on social media over this.

Meanwhile, BNP is also preparing to counter Awami League's program. As both sides have permission to hold programs in front of the United Nations on September 24, expatriates in New York fear a confrontation that day. The Prime Minister is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on September 24.
