Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has termed those who are burning people to death as enemies of the country, people and humanity.
She called upon all to put up strong resistance against such terrorists, reports BSS.
The PM came up with the call while inaugurating "Digital World 2015", the largest digital exposition of South Asia, in Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Dhaka on Monday.
"I feel extreme pain when I see that the innocent people are burnt to death with petrol bomb, the trucks carrying chicks and vehicles carrying textbooks are torched by the terrorists in the name of movement. It is very difficult to believe that people can do such inhuman acts," she said.
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.
Sheikh Hasina said the government has framed the ICT Act and the ICT policy for further development of IT industry.
"Our goal is to make available the use of technology for improving the living standard of the people and build a "technology divide"-free country irrespective of the rich and the poor, the literate and illiterate," she said.
"The work on setting up high-tech and software technology parks has started and infrastructures are being built in different districts to this end."
The prime minister also mentioned different measures for development of IT industry.
The measures include expansion of e-governance, raising bandwidth capacity of submarine cable, making available internet service by reducing the bandwidth price, launching 3G mobile service, setting up digital centres in 4,547 unions, 321 pourasabhas and 401 wards, arrangement of digital innovation fair and launching of e-service by all district administrations and introduction of the biggest web portal of the world with 25,000 websites.
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.
"We are inviting the reputed companies of the world to invest in the IT sector and we are ensuring them to extend allout support," she said.
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.
