State Minister for Youth and Sports Ahad Ali Sarkar has been appointed chairman of the National Sports Council (NSC). He fills the gap left by General Moeen U Ahmed's resignation.
An official announcement yesterday said, "The appointment has been given as President Zillur Rahman has accepted the resignation letter of Army Chief General Moeen U Ahmed from the post."
On Monday, General Moeen resigned as NSC chairman citing personal reasons, amid controversies over Bangladesh Football Federation's sponsorship deal with Bashundhara Group.
