Madhya Pradesh Bhopal imams and muezzins have not received their salaries for the last two months IV News

Bhopal: Shivraj Singh government in power in Madhya Pradesh is strongly promoting the slogan of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas among the people, but it seems to be lacking in implementation. Except for the Hajj Committee in Madhya Pradesh, where all minority institutions have been deprived of the establishment of committees since 2018, a slight increase in the budget of the Mosque Committee in the Kamal Nath government, instead of increasing them in the Shivraj Singh government. And the number has been reduced. The irony is that the imams and muezzins, who receive a small donation from the mosque committee, do not receive the donation on time. If we talk about the last year, this is the fifth time that the offering was not issued to the imam and muznain on time. Nevertheless, the offer has not been issued to imams and muezzins since the last two months, because imams and muezzins are struggling and their frustration is increasing.

Faheemuddin Chaudhary, the Muezzin of Khanu Village Mosque, in an exclusive conversation with News18 Urdu said that money is being poured like water by the government in the name of Vikas, but the government is discriminating by paying a small amount to the imam and muezzin in the name of Nizrana is behaving Even in this age of inflation, the offering of any imam and muezzin is not more than 5000 per month. In such a situation, you can imagine what will happen to the imams and muezzins. It is requested from the government not only to increase the supply of imams and muezzins, but also to issue them on time so that we can also provide our children with good education.

There, when News18 Urdu spoke to Yasir Arafat, the Secretary General of the Mosque Committee, about the delay in the budget of the Mosque Committee and the tendering of Imams and Musins, he said that it was right that there had been a reduction in the budget and supplementary laws. Also, there has not been an increase in the budget of the Mosque Committee which was required was. As far as the bi-monthly tender is concerned, orders have been issued in this regard from the Minority Welfare Department and shortly the imam and muezzin’s tenders will be credited to their accounts.
