"Nobody Can Stop": Suspended TMC MLA Lays Babri Masjid-Modelled Mosque Foundation in Murshidabad

  • Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir laid the foundation stone for a mosque modeled on Ayodhya’s Babri Masjid in Murshidabad.
  • The ceremony occurred on December 6, the anniversary of the original Babri Masjid's demolition, amidst extensive security.
  • Kabir, suspended from TMC for "communal politics," claimed the project is not meant to oppose the Ram Mandir and asserted "nobody can stop" its construction.
  • The mosque project is estimated at Rs 300 crore, includes a hospital, and has received an Rs 80 crore pledge from an industrialist.
  • The event and choice of date drew criticism from opposition parties for allegedly stoking communal sentiments.

Why It Matters: It signals rising communal tensions and political defiance in West Bengal.
