Controversy
Kashem was elected to parliament in 2008 from Chittagong-3 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate.[1] He served as the chairman of the parliamentary committee for the Ministry of Commerce.[2]
Kashem's son, SM Al Mamun, tried to grab land from ship breaking companies in Sitakunda Upazila for his ship breaking company, Unique Ship-breaking Yard, on 7 October 2009. His son also assaulted journalists trying to cover the incident.[3][4] Kashem later apologized for his son's actions.[5]
