• Murshidabad's proposed 'Babri Masjid' hosted its first Friday prayers, drawing a massive turnout.
• Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir initiated the project, laying the foundation stone last Saturday.
• The structure, a replica of the demolished Babri Masjid, is a symbolic move ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
