Professor Shamima Sultana, a newly appointed member of the Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC), took the oath of office on Sunday afternoon.
Chief Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury administered the oath at the Supreme Court Judges’ Lounge.
Earlier on 25 October, Prof Shamima Sultana of the Department of Bangla at Jahangirnagar University was appointed as a new member of the PSC. The Ministry of Public Administration issued a gazette notification regarding her appointment on that day.
During the July 2024 mass uprising, Shamima served as the Chair of the Department of Bangla at Jahangirnagar University. She came into the spotlight on 1 August of that year after removing the portrait of the then prime minister Sheikh Hasina from her office. The teacher subsequently shared the incident on social media.
Prof Shamima Sultana is also a former vice-president of the university’s Nationalist Teachers’ Forum.
