Overview
- Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir announced a foundation-laying for a mosque named ‘Babri’ on December 6 in Beldanga, Murshidabad.
- Kabir said he will skip the party’s Samhati Diwas event in Kolkata on the same day, where Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee are slated to address a gathering.
- Kabir invited Indian Secular Front legislator Naushad Siddiqui to the ceremony, framing the event as a religious observance rather than a party platform.
- Siddiqui has not responded publicly to the invitation, according to the latest reports.
- BJP leaders criticized the move as religion-based politics, while Kabir’s stance extends a pattern of dissent that has previously drawn TMC censure and show-cause notices.
