A major political row has erupted in West Bengal after TMC MLA Humayun Kabir said he would lay the foundation stone for a "Babri Masjid" on December 6 in Murshidabad. The controversial remark triggered sharp criticism and forced the Trinamool Congress to distance itself. Amid the escalating row, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has announced the construction of a Mahakal temple on identified land, signalling a strategic shift while the party grapples with the MLA's comments.
