Treasury bench lawmakers on Monday hailed President M Abdul Hamid's speech in the Parliament saying the speech truly focused on the tale of establishing a digitalized country under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the last thirteen years.
They said the head of the state, in his 169-page speech on Sunday, the maiden session in 2022 of the 11th parliament, highlighted different development activities in various sectors including socio-economic, political, cultural, education, youth and sports, information and communication technology (ICT) and foreign relations.
Referring to establishment of a digitalized country, State minister for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Zunaid Ahmed Palak said: "Bangladesh has turned into a middle income country from a least developed one under the able leadership of the incumbent prime minister since 2008."
