Prime Minister Imran Khan officially inaugurated the Special Technology Zones Authority at a ceremony in Islamabad today.
Addressing the ceremony, PM Imran said that the establishment of STZA aims at giving incentives to the IT sector to bolster its growth. He said that it will provide vast job opportunities to the youth and enhance IT-related exports.
The Prime Minister said that expatriate Pakistanis, including those in the United States, can benefit from the incentives being offered to the IT companies. He expressed confidence that the establishment of technology zones in the country will also help attract foreign investment.
PM Imran said that Pakistan had failed to give incentives to the IT sector. “Even during the pandemic, the companies that gained were from the IT sector. So, we have been left behind.”
Earlier, talking about Machh incident, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he will visit Quetta as soon as the Hazara community buries the victims of the gruesome Machh incident.
The Prime Minister said that the government has accepted all the demands of the Hazara community and the bereaved families will be compensated and fully taken care of as they have lost their bread earners in the despicable incident. Imran Khan said that the Machh incident is part of the Indian conspiracy to instigate anarchy and sectarian strife in Pakistan. He said that the Indian plot is to murder the religious scholars of different schools of thought.
He commended the intelligence agencies for foiling four major terrorist activities including one outside Islamabad. He said we have put out the fire which the enemy was conspiring to fan through sectarianism.
