Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday (April 17) urged the country's Allem, Ulema, Imam and Khatib to give sermons against the adverse impact of the militancy, drugs, corruption, women repression in their khutbas in the mosques.

"As people respect Allem, Ulema, Khatib and Imam, your words have importance to them. . .," she said.

The premier made the urge while inaugurating 50 more model mosques and Islamic cultural centres in the fourth phase across the country, joining virtually from her official residence Ganabhaban here.

The PM said, "If you preach sermons in the mosque and discuss more to eliminate violence against women, militancy, spreading of rumors, inhumane treatment with domestic workers or subordinates and corruption etc, people will accept it."

PM Sheikh Hasina put emphasis on the need for highlighting these issues before the people in the Khutba (sermon) during the Jumma prayer
