Calling for working together to strengthen cooperative movement in the country, adviser for local government A. F. Hassan Ariff on Saturday said unity is the driving force of cooperative movement.
“The main purpose of cooperatives is to work together. But dispute over issuance of membership of the cooperative is not desirable,” he said while distributing National Cooperative Prize among the winners marking the 53rd National Cooperatives Day at the Department of Cooperatives in Agargaon, reports BSS.
Women and Children and Social Welfare Adviser Sharmin S Murshid addressed the function as special guest while Rural Development and Co-operatives Division Secretary Mosammat Shahanara Khatun was in the chair.
Director General of Department of Cooperatives Md Shariful Islam gave welcome address.
Ariff said there might have disagreement between the two persons. But the dispute can be resolved within the framework of the existing cooperative law, he said.
By no means, it is expected that there will be a conflict of interest in the cooperative, he added.
