Local Awami League leader Mizanur Rahman opposed the work from the beginning.
In this regard, the president and general secretary of the mosque committee complained that Mizanur Rahman demanded a large sum of money from the beginning of the work of the mosque, when we refused to pay the money, now he has come with his people and made various threats to stop the work of the masons, demanding that he get land in the mosque land.
