Terming those who are burning people to death as enemies of the country, people and humanity, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday called upon all to put up strong resistance against such terrorists.

The Prime Minister said this while inaugurating "Digital World 2015", the largest digital exposition of South Asia, in Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) on Monday afternoon.

Sheikh Hasina said there are some people in the country who don't see the country's development. "They are blind despite having eyes," she said.

The Prime Minister called upon the countrymen to remain alert and put resistance against those who want to push the country towards darkness from development.

Reaffirming the present government's commitment to build Digital Bangladesh by 2021, Sheikh Hasina said the goal of the government is to ensure proper utilization of information technology for socioeconomic development and people's empowerment.

Sheikh Hasina said the reputation of Bangladesh's IT sector is on the rise both at home and abroad. Bangladesh's software and IT services are being exported to about 50 countries of the world.

Noting that Bangladesh's IT sector is a potential one, Sheikh Hasina said the government is giving attractive incentives to the entrepreneurs side by side with infrastructure facilities to attract foreign investment.

Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh's stride for IT-based development has been able to earn respect from people across the world. In this connection, she referred to the UN South-South Cooperation Visionary Award, WSIS Award from International Telecom Union and Global ICT Excellence Award from the WITSA.

Speaking as the special guest, Prime Minister's ICT affairs adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy said the Awami League-led government introduced 3G technology and will roll out 4G technology soon.

Joy also said under the Leveraging ICT and Earning and Learning Project, 18,000 people have already been given training. "We have a plan to provide training for 50,000 more people under the project," he said.
