Business Report :
The Bangladesh Textiles Mills Association (BTMA) President Mohammad Ali Khokon has resigned on Sunday.
After an emergency meeting of the association, the board elected Shokat Aziz Russell as the new president. Russell was included in the board instead of its director Ahnaf Aziz, who also resigned the same day.
Mohammad Ali Khokon served the BTMA as president from 2019, after completing his two biannual terms and before that, he also served as vice president for one term.
On 10 April 2023, the association made an amendment to extend the conditions to continue four terms in a row instead of three. The association’s Secretary General Brigadier General (Rtd) MD Zakir Hossain told that the president has resigned from his position due to his illness and busy schedule from his own business.
In his resignation letter, Khokon wrote, “This decision was not made lightly. As I have shared with some of you earlier that both my physical health and business have been suffering, which now needs my attention. After a period of personal reflection and consultation with my family, I have concluded that it is the right time for me to resign. I believe this transition will allow the association to benefit from fresh perspectives and leadership.”
