Newly formed science and technology affairs sub-committee of Awami League on Friday paid tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Led by sub-committee Chairman Dr Hossain Mansur and Member Secretary and AL Science and Technology Affairs Secretary Engineer Md Abdus Sabur, leaders of the new committee placed a wreath at Bangabandhu’s portrait at Dhanmondi road number 32 here. After paying homage, Dr Hossain Mansur said under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the country is witnessing an unprecedented development in all sectors including information and communication technology.
The new sub-committee will work to cooperate with the government efforts in taking ahead the country’s science and technology sector, he said.
Abdus Sabur said the sub-committee is working round-the-clock to resist the anti-Awami League propaganda and rumors.
He hoped the ‘Joy Bangla’ app made by the sub-committee will be able to resist all rumors and showcase the development works of the government before the 16 crore people of the country. On December 29, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader approved the 72-member science and technology affairs sub-committee of the party.
