NCP leader Abdul Hannan Masud claimed he has been the subject of a prolonged media trial. He refuted recent allegations that his office was falsely portrayed as a personal property, stating, “No one can prove that I have earned money illegally.” Masud questioned why his sources of income are scrutinized when he holds no government position. “I'm not obligated to explain where my car or clothes come from,” he said. Regarding his income, he disclosed, “Even for participating in talk shows, I now receive a minimum of Tk 3,000 per appearance. If I join 30 talk shows a month, that amounts to Tk 90,000.” He added that earlier, such income would have required conducting at least two private tuitions a day. He also mentioned receiving financial support from well-wishers.
