NSC appoints ad-hoc bodies in three feds
The National Sports Association (NSC) yesterday dissolved elected executive committees of Bangladesh Amateur Athletics Federation (BAAF) and Bangladesh Swimming Federation (BSF) and replaced the ad-hoc body of the Bangladesh Basketball Federation (BBF).
The NSC formed three ad-hoc committees for the federations under the 20 A section of the NSC act (amendment) 1974.
The NSC, which retained the presidents of all three bodies, appointed 23-member committees for each of the swimming and athletic federations while a 26-member body for the basketball federation, confirmed three separate circulars.
An ad-hoc committee was running the BBF for more than five years while controversial organisers ran the other two federations.
With this move, Sports Adviser Tapan Chowdhury kept his promise to quash politicised sport bodies.
Former chairman of the Navy Sports Council Commodore (retd) MA Kabir replaced Dewan Aminul Haq Sajal -- known as a 'forum leader' as BSF general secretary while BAAF's 'Forum'-backed secretary Ali Imam Tapan makes way for former athlete and now BJMC deputy general manager Mosharraf Hossain Shamim.
Lt commander (retd) Avijit Sarkar, member secretary of the training and facilities committee of the Bangladesh Olympic Federation, has been named BBF general secretary in place of Selim Chowdhury, who has failed to hold a single basketball league during his tenure.
Naval chief vice admiral Sarwar Jahan Nizam, M Didarul Anwar and Kazi M Aminul Islam will continue as presidents of the BSF, BAAF and BBF respectively.
The Caretaker Government last month named an ad-hoc committee to run the Bangladesh Cricket Board following en masse resignation of its EC members.
Bangladesh Football Federation also ran into crisis since general secretary Anwarul Huq Helal's resignation was accepted last week.
