Qaumi Madrasah students get govt jobs: Hasan
Staff Reporter :
Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday accused the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of using religion to capture state power.
“It is the party which uses religion to go to power. But it never did anything to serve Islam. The leaders of the party always befool the people in the name of Islam,” he said.
The minister said this while speaking on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of Bangladesh United Islami Party at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital on Friday.
The Qaumi Madrasah students are getting government jobs after the Dawrae Hadith certificates were given master’s degree status, he said.
“We established around 73,000 ‘maktab’-based madrasas. A teacher has been appointed at every ‘maktab’ (pre-school for religious education) and they are getting salary from the government,” he said.
Mahmud accused the BNP and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami of using Islam for political purposes.
On the other hand, the Awami League government is setting up mosques in every upazila. The tender process for 250 mosques is complete,’ he said.
Hasan Mahmud said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina set up the Imam-Muezzin Trust in 1996. She gave Tk10 crore to the fund after returning to power. ‘She has fulfilled the Islamic scholars’ demands.
