Apart from this, a contribution of 5 lakh taka was taken from another association. It arranged to bring back the newly elected president of the chamber. After taking charge, Masuduzzaman said that extortion should be stopped and the extortion money should be returned. And we installed Masud as the president of the chamber, but it was proved that he is a qualified person.

At that time, Masaduzzaman said, I said that the businessmen will be free from terrorism, free from extortion and the chamber will be by their side in any problem. I explained to those who subscribed that this place is not a good place. They understood and returned the subscription money. It is a good start for Bangladesh. We traders don't make any party, let us be in peace. Due to Jhoot, various pressures are being put on the Chamber and BKMEA, so that we distribute them. Actually it is not our job.
