Aziz told bdnews24.com “the leader (Hasina) also announced the name of three joint secretaries and three vice-presidents”.
The new vice-presidents of this doctors’ body are: Kanak Kanti Barua, Md Abdur Rouf Sardar and Rokeya Sultana. The joint secretaries are: ASM Zakaria Swapan, Uttam Kumar Barua, and Zulfikar Ali Lenin.
