Babri Masjid Replica Plan: Dangerous Provocation in West Bengal

  • Murshidabad TMC MLA Humayun Kabir was suspended after proposing to build a replica of the Babri Masjid.
  • The proposal is considered dangerous due to its link to the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition, which caused nationwide riots and over 2,000 deaths.
  • Muslim leaders, including Iqbal Ansari and the All India Imam Association, condemned the proposal as provocative and politically motivated.
  • The article highlights the risk of communal unrest in West Bengal if a mosque is named "Babri Masjid."
  • Legal options like Public Interest Litigations (PILs) or invoking sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) could be used to prevent the naming and construction.
