Reacting to the foundation stone of the Babri Masjid laid by suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir in Beldanga, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla described it as a pattern of glorifying "foreign invader" like Babar in INDI alliance states.
"Anyone can build a mosque; no one is prohibited from doing so because temples and mosques are centres of faith for any religion. But no one has the right to spoil the atmosphere of this country... Those attempting to create such an environment cannot progress by damaging this strong demo
On Saturday, the suspended TMC MLA, Humayun Kabir, laid the foundation stone for the construction of Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, amid widespread criticism from multiple political parties.
On this occasion, Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary, Union Ministers of State for Cooperation Krishan Pal Gurjar and Murlidhar Mohol, Union Cooperation Secretary Dr Ashish Kumar Bhutani, along with many other dignitaries, were present.
Momin told ANI that Hamayun Kabir reflects TMC's agenda to make West Bengal an "Islamic state". He targeted both TMC and Kabir since the latter went ahead with laying the foundation stone for a Babri Masjid in Murshidabad on the 33rd anniversary of the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition.
Majumdar accused the West Bengal police of fully supporting the act and held West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responsible for the laying of the mosque's foundation stone.
He drew attention to the constitutional right to build places of worship and said that he is not doing anything unconstitutional, "as anyone can make a temple or church, so can I".
Suspended Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir is set to lay the foundation stone of Babri Masjid in Beldanga on Saturday, an event that has prompted heightened administrative attention and extensive security arrangements in Murshidabad district.
