Former Divisional Director of Islamic Foundation Syed Amin Uddin Mahmud and religious leaders Mahbubur Rahman, Muhammad Abdullah and Abdul Matin also spoke on the occasion.
Society at present is infested with crimes, misconceptions and anomalies due to lack of proper knowledge on moral and religious values, the chief guest said, adding that for this reason, social disorders and crimes like gender disparity, violence against women, terrorism, corruption, early marriage, drug-addiction and polygamy are rampant in the society.
He said zero tolerance against all sorts of violence and repression against women are very important for the sake of mainstreaming the womenfolk everywhere in the society for total welfare of the nation.
Prof Alam said the trained imams should do something against the crimes as part of their social responsibility.
Later, the guests distributed certificates among 103 imams of the training course coming from nine districts under Rajshahi and two districts under Khulna divisions.
