New Delhi, Nov 22 (NationPress) A significant political uproar has erupted in West Bengal following the announcement by rebel Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir. He declared plans to lay the foundation stone for a new Babri Masjid in Murshidabad on December 6, coinciding with the anniversary of the demolition of the original structure in Ayodhya.

This declaration has sparked intense backlash from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), which has branded the initiative as an "anti-India conspiracy".

VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal criticized Kabir for opting for the name "Babri", asserting that constructing a mosque named after the "foreign invader" Babur is "completely unacceptable".

He further accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of exploiting the situation to appeal to her "jihadist vote bank".

The ceremony in Beldanga will align with a rally that Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, will also address in Kolkata on the same day, commemorating the Babri Mosque demolition.

In a statement shared on X, Bansal expressed, "TMC MLA and former state minister Humayun Kabir has announced plans to lay the foundation stone of a mosque in the name of the foreign invader Babur on the upcoming December 6."

"On the flip side, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee has resolved to shed crocodile tears over the dust-covered Babri, 33 years later. For so many years, she had kept Babri locked in the freezer! Now, she will make a vile attempt to release the Babri genie and carve out her jihadist vote bank!" he added.

Bansal further scrutinized both leaders, stating, "The political discord between these two TMC leaders and the tug-of-war over the jihadist vote bank is nothing new. But Humayun's father was Babur himself! It's possible that the wandering soul of that cruel ruler has entered this Humayun's body and instilled the fear of Babri in the MLA's mind! But what connection does Mamata Didi have with Babur or Babri! Please clarify?"

Recalling slogans from the Ayodhya movement, Bansal remarked, "In the 1990s, the unified slogan of the Hindu society across the entire world was 'Mandir wahi, Masjid nahi, Babri kahi nahi' -- in the name of Babur, we will not allow any new mosque to be built anywhere on the sacred land of Mother India. In such a context, this kind of anti-India conspiracy is utterly unacceptable."

He also brought up the violent events in April 2025 in Murshidabad, stating, "The wounds of the horrific violence and mass slaughter against Hindus in Murshidabad are still fresh, and it seems that this rioter from Beldanga and his party chief are working on a new script of atrocities against Hindus, from which Hindu society must remain vigilant."

In April, violent clashes erupted during protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, resulting in three fatalities, including a father-son pair murdered and a young man shot by police. Over 400 individuals, predominantly Hindus, were displaced, seeking refuge in neighboring Malda.

Humayun Kabir remains steadfast in his plans, reiterating that the foundation stone for the mosque named 'Babri' will indeed be laid in Beldanga on December 6.

"The mosque will take three years to complete. Last year, on December 12, I made this promise. Around two lakh people are expected to attend the ceremony, with 400 prominent personalities present on the stage," he informed IANS.
