The fight between Zayed Khan and Nipun Akter over the position of the general secretary has been resolved recently after a court verdict, and now members of both panels are united under the leadership of Kanchan as president and Nipun as the general secretary, according to the members.

“It feels great to have everyone together as a united force,” Moushumi stated to the media after taking the oath. “After everything we have gone through since the election, we are finally united now.”

Since the dispute has been resolved by the court and there’s no obstacle for Nipun to perform her duties as the general secretary of the association, I have decided to participate in the meeting and stay with its activities.
