Some 150 trained Imams from all eight districts under Rangpur division attended the conference moderated by Assistant Director of Islamic Foundation at its Rangpur Divisional office Md. Mosaddekul Alam.
The participating Imams expressed firm determination of making people aware of the negative impacts and severe consequences of child marriage, dowry, other superstitions, drug abuse, terrorism and militancy to eliminate these curses from the society.
The speakers said Imams are laudably preaching the real meaning of Islam thwarting misinterpretation of the religion of peace and preventing militancy, extremism and terrorism to establish sustainable peace.
