Masud Saeedi, Jamaat-e-Islami’s nominated candidate for the Pirojpur-1 constituency and former upazila chairman, announced that if his party comes to power, it will introduce a government honorarium and service rules for imams and muezzins across Bangladesh. Speaking at an Imam Conference organized by the Bangladesh National Imam Association in Nazirpur, Saeedi emphasized the need to recognize the role of imams in guiding society both spiritually and morally. He argued that Islam provides comprehensive guidance for personal, social, and state affairs, and that imams should address not only religious rituals but also social issues like corruption and injustice. Saeedi also called for modernizing mosque management policies to ensure fair treatment of imams and khatibs, noting that most mosques are privately run. The event was attended by local religious leaders and representatives of various Islamic organizations.
