A prominent Bangladeshi business leader from Queens is turning his back on Zohran Mamdani after repeatedly backing the socialist lawmaker — and urging his community to now block the prostitution-boosting pol from becoming mayor.

“Supporting prostitution means supporting human trafficking,” said Fahad Solaiman, who lives near the infamously sex-worker-riddled Roosevelt Avenue.

Solaiman, who plans to vote for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, urged members of his mosque to also reject the progressive Democratic nominee in an exclusive interview with The Post Friday.

“Come over here in the evening, after 8 o’clock, after the sun sets, you will see that you cannot walk Roosevelt Avenue [without seeing] many prostitutes,” Solaiman said at the Darul Hidaya Mosque after a service Friday.

The influential businessman, who is general secretary at the Jackson Heights Bangladeshi Business Association, spoke alongside Cuomo at the service, urging others in his community to back the former gov instead of Mamdani.

The community leader claimed he used to support Mamdani primarily because of his position on Palestine — but as the race has progressed, Solaiman has had a change of heart.
