'It's An Emotional Issue': TMC's Humayun Kabir Defends 'Babri' Remark

Trinamool Congress leader Humayun Kabir, facing a major political controversy over his statement about laying the foundation of a Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, told NDTV that the issue is "emotional" for Muslims. He defended his remarks, saying the Babri Masjid was a 400-year-old structure that was demolished in 1992, and insisted he was not making the claim for electoral gains. Kabir reiterated that he intends to lay the foundation for a mosque on December 6, 2025, saying it is his personal resolve and not linked to the upcoming elections.
