Suspended Trinamool MLA's Babri Mosque Event Today, BJP's "Babur" Warning

Suspended Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir will lay the foundation stone of a 'Babri Masjid-style' mosque at Beldanga in West Bengal's Murshidabad today, sparking a row. 

According to Kabir, the event will begin at 10 am with Quran recitation, followed by the foundation stone-laying ceremony at noon. This comes after the police administration allowed the suspended MLA to "peacefully" conduct the event after the Calcutta High Court refused to intervene. Many Saudi clerics are expected to attend the ceremony. Kabir also said that "nearly 3 lakh people will gather across 25 bighas near Moradighi on Saturday", adding that religious leaders from several states had confirmed their presence, and seven Murshidabad-based catering agencies have been contracted to cook 'shahi biryani' for the crowd.
