BASIS President Russell T. Ahmed presided over the programme.
Post and Telecommunication Minister Mustafa Jabbar said, “I am surprised that an IT-based association like BASIS is commemorating Bangabandhu's martyrdom anniversary in a cultural way. BASIS could have observed the national mourning day by holding only a discussion if they wanted. ”
“Cultural arena is the strongest foundation in Bangladesh. BASIS has taken an exceptional and amazingly beautiful initiative to remember Bangabandhu which is not normally thought of in IT sector. In order to build Bangabandhu's golden Bangladesh, all sectors including ICT, cultural arena must work hand in hand”, he added.
