Adhikari: Kabir's 'Jinnah language' challenges Bengali Hindus amid mosque row

  • Suvendu Adhikari criticized suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir, calling his rhetoric "the language of Jinnah" and a "challenge to Bengali Hindus."
  • The controversy stems from Kabir laying the foundation stone for a "Babri Masjid-styled mosque" in Murshidabad, which Adhikari opposed due to its naming after Babur.
  • Adhikari alleged state patronage for the mosque event and double standards in governance regarding religious gatherings.
  • Kabir urged Muslim voters to consolidate politically, while the TMC accused BJP of communal polarisation.

Why It Matters: A mosque naming controversy fuels communal polarization and electoral strategies in West Bengal.
