Staff Reporter: Mohammad Hashem, a Bristol expatriate from Connecticut, is running for vice-president of the Nuru-Humayun Parishad in the biennial election of the Bangladeshi American Association of Connecticut (BAAC) on September 12. This election is undoubtedly an important election. Because in the last 16 years, only 3 elections have been held in a democratic manner. In the rest of the time, many have formed pocket committees and taken advantage of Baac’s leadership. Hashem said he would actively work for the reconstruction of conflict-free speech by resisting such irregularities.
Bristol expatriate Mohammad Hashem’s country home is in Chittagong. He has lived in Connecticut for over 25 years. He is involved in various social and cultural activities. For the past 5 years he has been the convener and president of the Bangladeshi American Friends Society (BAFS) in Connecticut.
Hashem said that if elected as vice-president of the upcoming biennial election of the Bangladeshi American Association of Connecticut (BAAC), he would first work for the welfare of the expatriates by resolving the disputes between the two groups. He told Bangla Press that he would resign immediately if any obstacle arose.
He told all voters of the Bangladeshi American Association of Connecticut (BAAC), a large organization in Connecticut, that everyone would be at the polls on September 12. The preferred candidate will vote for whomever he deems fit. He called on the expatriates to vote for him and his parishad.
