She said a special budget has been allocated for this plan and urged the government to help all the institutes contributing to the plan.
Elsewhere in her remarks Ms Eftekhari highlighted the important role of mosques in all area, quoting the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khamenei as saying that mosques should work as fortresses against the cultural onslaughts (launched by the enemies).
“We should never forget that the enemies have been planning to defeat us in all areas and we can thwart their plots by planning,” she said.
The MP also stressed that mosques should be centers for learning the Quran as they were so in the early years after the advent of Islam.
